I think setting DefaultLoadOrder to native, then pointing wine at your windows installation would achieve the effect you wanted.
On the other hand, that doesn't always work - MS DLLs often make undocumented calls between each other. Also of course, the aim is to replace Windows, not just provide a convenient shortcut, if in 2020 we all use Linux but still have a Windows license lying around to run the occasional app, arguably we wouldn't have got anywhere at all. thanks -mike On Thu, 2003-03-27 at 07:34, Jacobus Erasmus wrote: > Hi, I've been following the Wine development for years now. > > I was surprized when I learned of vmware and win4lin being able to run > Windows.
