Err...well, I'm not sure how this fits into the copyright.  I specifically
mentioned archive purposes.  It is shady but it is my way...windoze has
gotten hozed on my system periodically so I prefer to use copies of the
critical dlls when this happens.

If I do this, then it would be legit?  As in would I still need a 'license
from microsoft'?

        It is not absolutely true that you must have windoze 
        installed for wine to work.  The deal is, wine contains
        a set of its own versions of many windoze files.  They 
        are not quite up to "snuff" in many cases to the actual
        windoze counterparts.  If you have a real version of
        windoze installed, you can have wine use the real files/
        dlls rather than the wine versions.  This, in many/most
        cases will result in better luck in getting a doze app
        working.  

        You could find out what files, exactly, it is that wine
        would use from a real windoze install, copy those to a
        disk or floppy for archival use and replace the wine
        versions of the files with the actual windoze versions, 
        getting the same effect as having an actual version of 
        doze installed.

        From what I understand, for wine to work properly you must have
windows
        itself installed and wine uses the api's from there.  Is there an
emulator
        of windows that I can use that I don't need to have a registered
copy of
        windows?

        Thank you for any help

        Ryan
