Dear Mike: If you check out the Wine home page here:
http://www.winehq.org/ You will see that wine is primarily designed to work on x86 systems. If you explore this page: http://www.winehq.org/site/myths#only_x86 You'll see that the developers of wine are working to expand their program to run on other systems. They are not specific regarding which ones. It is just my opinion, but depending upon what you intended to use wine for another program, called qemu, may be what you are looking for. In the past, when other PowerPC systems were current, qemu, had been used by various members of this list to run a variety of Windows programs while they worked within YDL. QEMU itself worked well, however no one was really happy with the processing power which existed then on those PowerPC systems. The thing which may interest you is that The Cell, the PS3 processor, doesn't have the problems of past PowerPC systems. If you've the skills, you should be able to acquire the source of qemu and compile it so that you can utilize it implementing The Cell's unique facilities. Such an effort is worthy of a Ph.D. or Master thesis to be sure, but once done, I imagine it would be one amazing tool unique to approaching what The Cell is capable of within the PS3. The homepage for qemu is available here: http://fabrice.bellard.free.fr/qemu/about.html Remember that when you download the source to compile it on your PS3, you will not actually be using the full power of The Cell unless you integrate and utilize the SDK or programming tools provided by TSS for use in programming The Cell. A straight or standard compilation procedure which any older PowerPC can do or any x86 or any other processor would not be enough -- if your goal is to use YDL and The Cell within the PS3 to it's utmost capacity. Forgive me, if I've elaborated too much. Best of Luck... On Fri, 10 Aug 2007 06:15:51 -0700 (PDT) "Michael J.
