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 appropriate 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.
