Mike, WINE = *W*ine *I*s *N*ot an *E*mulator
You don't run Windows in WINE. You run Windows programs that are then presented the Windows APIs by WINE. Think of WINE as a translator, not an emulator. I otherwise agree with your sentiment. I prefer to run apps in their native environment. Once my favorite programs DXLab and N1MM+ are able to run in Linux natively, I will switch to Linux in a heartbeat! 73, Tony K4QE On Sun, Jul 31, 2016 at 11:14 AM, Mike Rhodes <w...@roadrunner.com> wrote: > Ok, I am not a Unix/Linux user.
