I've read about such work. But I'm not sure that 64bit wine would only be able to cope with 64bit windows apps. I can remember ages ago, I was able to have wine on my multilib system (at that time THAT was considered novel) this ment however, that I could no longer run 16bit windows apps. I had been using wine through a chroot at that time, it was the 'regular' 32bit version, and I was used to doing just that(running 16bit apps and 32bit apps). So my understanding would be that on a non-multilib system, a 'pure' 64bit build of wine, could still be able to run 32bit and 64bit windows apps, just not the old 16bit apps (support for which has long been gone anyway), similar to a 64bit windows does. But I don't really know... Tom
