HOWTO

You must run WinPolis.exe from the correct directory or it will not be able to find the questions or mail files.

In a 32-bit WINEPREFIX:

cd ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/WinPolis

wine WinPolis.exe

Files not found

The Manual.hlp help file is not found by the game. This occurs on Windows too and is a bug in the game.

The uninstaller also fails to find files. This occurs on Windows also.
