Wine - это не эмулятор Windows,
как думают многие, а альтернативная реализация API Windows 3.x и Win32
(кстати, и расшифровывается Wine как "Wine Is Not Emulator"). Wine
позволяет конечному пользователю выполнять в unix-системах (и Linux)
многие приложения, написанные для ОС Windows.
Wine is an Open Source
implementation of the Windows API on top of X, OpenGL, and Unix. Think
of Wine as a compatibility layer for running Windows programs. Wine does
not require Microsoft Windows, as it is a completely free alternative
implementation of the Windows API consisting of 100% non-Microsoft code,
however Wine can optionally use native Windows DLLs if they are
available. let's meet on cwer.ru Wine provides both a development
toolkit for porting Windows source code to Unix as well as a program
loader, allowing many unmodified Windows programs to run on x86-based
Unixes, including Linux, FreeBSD, Mac OS X, and Solaris.
What's New in This Release:
- This release represents two years of development effort and over
23,000 changes. The main highlights are the support for 64-bit
applications, and the new graphics based on the Tango standard.
- It also contains a lot of improvements across the board, and over
3,000 bug fixes.
