Wabi(1)

NAME

Wabi − Application to run Microsoft Windows-based applications

SYNOPSIS

wabi [ -display display_name ] [ −SF ] [ −LF ] [ −fs ]
[ +fs ] [ [ −s ] program [ arguments ] ]

DESCRIPTION

Wabi allows you to run Microsoft Windows-based applications in a window on your UNIX-based workstation.

OPTIONS

−display display_name
Use "-display" to display Wabi on a remote display device.

−SF Small fonts on large (> 640 horizontal pixels) display
Use "-SF" to override the large system font default and display small fonts in Wabi menus, dialog boxes, title bars, icon labels, etc. "-SF" has no effect on small displays.

−LF Large fonts on small (<= 640 horizontal pixels) display
Use "-LF" to override the small system font default and display large fonts in Wabi menus, dialog boxes, title bars, icon labels, etc. "-LF" has no effect on large displays.

−fs Starts Wabi without the font server.
Generally, you should let Wabi determine whether to use the font server, which provides more efficient font handling. Use "-fs" only if there is a font display problem (as a step in isolating the problem).

+fs Forces Wabi to start the font server.
If your X server supports the X Font Service Protocol, but Wabi does not start the font server automatically, use "+fs" to force Wabi to start it. Look for the wabifs process to determine if the font server is running.

−s application_information
Use "-s" to run the specified program without starting the shell specified in system.ini.

EXAMPLES

To start Wabi with the shell specified in system.ini:
wabi

To start Wabi with the shell and run an application:
wabi C:/pathname/application_name.exe

To start Wabi without the shell, and run an application:
wabi -s C:/pathname/application_name.exe

To start Wabi and display it to another display device:
wabi -display hostname:0

To start Wabi with small fonts on a large display:
wabi -SF

To start Wabi without the font server:
wabi -fs

ENVIRONMENT

WABIHOME
