applyppf3: command not found

Hello all,
I am trying to run a fix.bat file that is going to fix the aspect ratio on an avi file. I gave the file executable permissions and ran sh fix.bat. Here is some useful output.

Ehhhhr... That is a windoze app, isn't it?

If affirmative, which I suppose is, then you need to emerge wine, but there is a big chance that the app do not completely work (or at all). Anyway, if this is a Windows app and the bat file is a windows batch file you will need to edit that file and change some things to make it work under linux, starting by changing all the ocurrences of 'applyppf3.exe' for 'wine ./applyppf3.exe'.

Of course you need to know a bit about .bat files to properly do this, and you will also need to know how wine configuration file works and so on.

If you need help ask here, but as I said I doubt that that apps will work if its a windows one. If it is not then excuse me, but it seems the like. :wink:

wine fix.bat didn't work, but this did.

I looked at the .bat file and all it did was do the two commands that I posted above, so I just ran those seperate. I would assume if I had put wine infront of both of the commands in the .bat file it would have worked, but I didn't think about that until after I had already done them seperate. But thanks for the offer.

No problem.

In my old times I used DOS a lot, and know almost anything about DOS batch scripting (that is nothing compared to the power of the most simple linux shell, like sh). To compare command.com with bash would be like comparing penguin with an F-18, in terms of flying, of course. :wink:
