in my seemingly endless quest to render the infrared port on
my windowless (rh7.3) ibm thinkpad inactive and the serial port
active, i have established a dos partition on my hard drive and
unpacked the utility utppfdos.exe using wine.  among the
utilities unpacked are ps2.exe and ps2main.exe, one of which,
i believe is the one i need.

however, when i try to run ps2.exe (again under wine) i get the
complaint:

err:mmsys:MMDRV_InitHardcoded You didn't setup properly the config
      file for the Wine multimedia modules.
Will use the hard-coded setup, but this will disappear soon.
Please add a WinMM section to your Wine config file.
Warning: unprotecting the first 64KB of memory to allow real-mode calls.
         NULL pointer accesses will no longer be caught.

and the program hangs there.  when i try to run ps2main, i get:

err:mmsys:MMDRV_InitHardcoded You didn't setup properly the config
      file for the Wine multimedia modules.
Will use the hard-coded setup, but this will disappear soon.
Please add a WinMM section to your Wine config file.
Could not load 'DOSCALLS.DLL' required by 'PS1', error=2

i have no idea how to create a WinMM section in ~/.wine/config.
my crude attempt to configure the file for my system is attached
below.

i have no DOSCALLS.DLL on my system.  do "normal" windows systems
all have this?  how can i get it?

any suggestions will be welcome.

;; MS-DOS drives configuration

;; Each section has the following format:
;; [Drive X]
;; Path=xxx       (Unix path for drive root)
;; Type=xxx       (supported types are 'floppy', 'hd', 'cdrom' and 'network')
;; Label=xxx      (drive label, at most 11 characters)
;; Serial=xxx     (serial number, 8 characters hexadecimal number)
;; Filesystem=xxx (supported types are 'msdos'/'dos'/'fat', 'win95'/'vfat', 'unix')
;;   This is the FS Wine is supposed to emulate on a certain
;;   directory structure.
;;   Recommended:
;;   - "win95" for ext2fs, VFAT and FAT32
;;   - "msdos" for FAT16 (ugly, upgrading to VFAT driver strongly recommended)
;;   DON'T use "unix" unless you intend to port programs using Winelib !
