Bingo. It irritates me when people call Wine an emulator. ALEX, did you
know that Wine stands for "Wine Is Not an Emulator"??
It's playing with words. I happen to think it is an emulator and I usually
call it that ;)

So a Chevy is a Ford emulator, because it can use the same gas, right?
No, of course not. Now, if the gas had to be converted to a completely
different substance before it could power the car, then it would
probably be an emulator.
WINE doesn't change the gas, it's just an engine add-on that just lets
you burn unleaded or diesel.
And so ends "Lousy Analogy Theater". We now return you to your normal
