Re: [Audyssey] what is wine? RE: MOTA Beta 14 Released!

Hi,

I use a shell script called winetricks. It gives you a GTK GUI to select the 
windows components e.g. SAPI or vb6 
runtime and then automaticly installs it for you.
I think one can get it from the wine website, however it is not supported by 
the wine project.

Take care,

Rynhardt

 Hi Peter,
 No. If you want Sapi support for Wine you have to download Sapi 5.1
 and install it manually into Wine.  Since wine isn't exactly speech
 friendly you'll need sighted assistance installing Sapi support.
 Honestly running Windows XP through VMPlayer is a better solution in
 my opinion than Wine.

The name Wine initially was an acronym for WINdows Emulator
Later on it was derived from the recursive acronym Wine Is Not an Emulator
While the name sometimes appears in the forms WINE and wine, the
project developers have agreed to standardize on the form Wine.

Hi,
Thanks for the tip. That would be awesome if I could use that to help
get some of the Windows games up and running under wine. Especially,
since I am down to one and a half Windows computers and several Linux
boxes.

Smile.

Sigh...No, Wine is not an abbreviation.  It is just the name of the
