Command line arguments to venple.exe?
Posted: Fri Oct 31, 2008 2:07 pm
When I taught a course using Vensim last year, I created slides using LaTeX beamer, and I used something like
to embed references to model names in the final PDF. Then I could click on the reference (typically a bit of text, but perhaps a picture) and launch a model, relying on Windows' file associations to find the program to run the model.
This year, I've moved to Linux, and I'm running Vensim under Wine. I don't know how to do what I did last year, though: I haven't found a way to do file associations in Wine, yet, so I thought I'd simply try something like, but it doesn't appear that venple takes command line arguments such as the name of a file.
Is there a way to do what I'm trying to do -- craft a command I can run that will start Vensim and open a particular model? If it does take command line arguments, does it accept options (and what are they)? Running wine venple.exe --help (perhaps with a FQFN and with -h or -?) didn't seem to get me any information.
Code: Select all
\href{run:model.mdl}{See the model}
