AFAIK, no one has tried yet. Also you would not be able to run Intel
Windows applications on an S390 because 'Wine Is Not an Emulator'. But
you could use Winelib to recompile Windows applications for the S390.
Go ahead and be the first on your block to run Windows (Winelib
really) applications on an IBM mainframe!
Well, actually I did try it some time back ...
While I just did a quick hack, I got at least WineMine running.
Now that Winelib is a bit cleaned up (Sparc runs out of the box),
it would probably be not too difficult to properly implement S/390
support, or in fact support for any 32-bit architecture (64-bit is
an entirely different story).
I didn't pursue it further because I wasn't sure there's really
anybody interested in running Wine on S/390. But if you'd like
to try it, I could certainly contribute the arch-specific patches.
[ B.t.w. I'm now working for IBM on the Linux for S/390 port.
That's why I am quite familiar with the architecture ... ;-) ]
