The purpose of the a %description is to let people know what the app does. If you don't speak in the terms they understand then it's worthelss... To some degree it's an emulator. You guys just want to use overly broad definitions of the term. My mother and most of my non-techie friends won't understand the distinctions you guys are trying to make. Now I'm not saying the %description couldn't be imporved. But WINE *IS* an emulator at some level. > eg. people did'nt call PC-DOS, DR-DOS, etc. for MS-DOS emulators just > because they could mostly run the same programs. Doesn't mean they couldn't be called that. -- Ben Reser <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://ben.reser.org If your love has no hope of being welcomed do not voice it; for if it be silent it can endure, a guarded flame, within you. - The Wisdom of the Sands
