Maybe I'm being a bit dense here, but how does Wine plus a processor emulator differ from something like Virtual PC? (disregarding costs) From what I know about Wine (Wine is not an emulator), it doesn't really emulate everything, it just provides the APIs to Windows program to allow them run. So, if Wine were to be ported to PPC, wouldn't you have to write a total emulator just to allow these APIs to run - in other words, Virtual PC. -- Yoav Felberbaum E-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Fink-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-users
