Wine is a translation layer (a program loader) capable of running Windows applications on Linux and other POSIX compatible operating systems. Windows programs running in Wine act as native programs would, running without the performance or memory usage penalties of an emulator, with a similar look and feel to other applications on your desktop. Wine 1.0.1 was released recently, and our developers are currently working towards a Wine 1.2 release. There are bugs and missing features, but many people find Wine useful in running a growing number of Windows programs. Features of the application: - Designed for source and binary compatibility with Win32 code - Win32 API test suite to ensure compatibility - Compilable on a wide range of C compilers - Permits mixing of Win32 and POSIX code - Permits mixing of ELF (.so) and PE (.dll/.exe) binaries in one address space - Win32 compatible header files - Automatically generated API documentation - Resource compiler - Message compiler - IDL compiler - Extensive Unicode support - Internationalization -- Wine supports 16 languages - Built-in debugger and configurable trace messages - External memory checker support using Valgrind - Sample programs
