NAME
     winetricks - manage virtual Windows environments using Wine

SYNOPSIS
     winetricks [options] [verb ... ]

DESCRIPTION
     winetricks is an easy way to work around common problems in Wine.

     It  provides  simple  commands to tweak Wine settings, download and install
     missing Windows DLLs and fonts, or install various applications with appro-
     priate workarounds for the current version of Wine.

     It can be used via GUI or command line.  The command-line mode is	intended
     both  for interactive use and as a building block in fancier Wine frontends
     and in automated regression testing.

     winetricks with no arguments displays a GUI using either Zenity or Kdialog.
