Re:Wine - Does it actually work?
Wine is a very pesky utility.
OK, stuff like windows solitaire and freecell run perfectly. MVP-Bridge hangs
up. So did a sound-card editing program but it did get my installed MIDI
devices correctly which nothing "native" has done so far. Once these hangup,
one must log out to get rid of their windows. Copernic web search which runs
off the IE com object hung the system. Big red switch and a real scarey fsck
session to recover--I mean heavy duty.
Just as Windows requires a "pid" file to describe how to run a DOS program,
Wine needs such a descriptor to correctly run Windows programs in Linux. ...
and this might well vary from flavor to flavor and release to release.
