WINE allows Windows programs to run under Linux (if the Linux & Windows match - i.e. both 32 bit or both 64 bit) without recompilation. I have used it on occasion. And it works rather well, considering. Of course, there are the times when I'd get a message what started with: "FIXME: WINE does not implement ..." . And with LzLabs it would be more like running WINE on Linux/ARM by using QEMU to execute the Intel opcodes in the Windows program. > > Seems like it's going to take a ton of testing to be sure your application > is going to run safely?! > > -- Heisenberg may have been here. http://xkcd.com/1770/ Maranatha! <>< John McKown ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
