Anybody keeping up with wine? I have the feeling this is something that remains important. With the advent of win 2000 and the ability to run a Win32 program on a remote terminal there may be less of a need, but I would still like to be able to use Win32 programs natively on Linux. There are many times when I must use Win32 programs at work. My best system is (of course) usually booted into Linux. If I want to work with Rational Rose or something like that I need to boot into NT. That sucks! If you have experience with the current state of wine, or opinions abut wine please share them with the list.

wine is a great product, that still deserves 100% attention. it is a native implementation of the win32 API...great! windoze apps without the 'doze'... why pay good money for binary-only kernel modules, when you can get and use wine for free? wine is in heavy devel though, so you'll never exactly what will run on it, and what wont. updates sometimes fix some apps, and break others. usually, if you have a specific app you want to run, download the newest wine and try it..if it dont work, get a version a month old, and try it, and keep working backwards till you have one that does what you want. at one time, i had a 'magic version', that would run Word97, Excel97, Cognose Reportwriter, Winamp, Mirc32, IBM library reader, and all the stuff i *needed* at the time. cant remember what version that was though..:( anyway, good luck with it. -- ======================================================================== Rocky McGaugh Atipa Linux Solutions Linux Systems Engineer www.atipa.com rocky@smluc.org rmcgaugh@atipa.com ======================================================================== On Fri, 21 Jan 2000, Steven T.

The last I heard, Wine would only run Windows 3.1 applications. Do you know if that's changed?

A few Win98 apps run. MSHearts, for example. Mostly, though, they don't.

I just installed the source for wine from the 6.2 distro.
I end up with a wine*.tar.gz and a wine*.diff file.
What do I do with the DIFF file?
Are DIFF files cumulative or will I have to download all the
newer ones?
