    This has been a recurring issue, so I think I'll
    recapitulate my own experiences with it, adaptable
    even to an introductory level.

    The reader is assumed to have a dual-boot computer
    with FEMM installed in a "real" Windows partition. If
    not, it's probably more difficult. The Codeweavers
    version of WINE, used for compatibility, is, in my
    opinion, the best.

    You should probably mention your Windows partition in
    /etc/fstab. If it is your intention to use FEMM a lot,
    a batch file such as the following makes things more
    convenient:

    cd /mnt/hda1
    wine "Program Files"/femm31/bin/femme.exe

    That way you can start the GUI with such a command as
    ./femm, if that's the name of the batch file.

    A problem such as the one in the tutorial at
    femm.berlios.de/tutor/tutor.htm can then be entered in
    the usual way. It might be a good idea to make sure
    that you can *save* the files you create. The "fake"
    drive C: created by WINE, and in particular the My
    Documents folder mapped to your home directory, are
    likely candidates.

    After you save the file and click on the meshing icon,
    it might say it can't launch the mesher. If so, just
    close FEMM and open it again. The file should be
    there.

    After you click on the eyeglasses, you'll have to
    click on the title bar of the Femmview form to bring
    it to the top. Other than that, it works the same as
    in Windows.

    Eventually you'll probably close the application.
