The purpose of WINE (and it is not emulation by the way) is to run un-modified Windows binaries on Linux. Since those binaries all contain i[3456]86 opcodes, even if WINE were to compile and run on the mainframe, the Windows binaries would not.
And before Adam trots out his WINE and Bochs (an Intel hardware emulator, kind of the reverse of Hercules) running on z/VM on his MP3K, I'll acknowledge that it can be done, but boy is it painful and expensive.

I haven't been able to determine what win programs they are trying to run, I'm still working on that. Any info would be helpful. regards Phil Tully ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
