At the time, I wasn't even sure if it could be *made* Bill> to work, and I haven't looked since. I wasn't sure either. I looked at the docs a bit and there doesn't seem to be anything that would stop it from working in principle. 16-bit apps might be harder, as those require vm86() which I know nothing about (I'm sure it could be implemented by someone more knowledge of x86). Encouraged by this, I tried the wine RPM from Red Hat. After fixing the ia32 sendmsg()/recvmsg() implementations, I am now able to run "wordpad.exe" and "mspaint.exe". I had never seen wine in a working state, so I was quite amazed to see a windows-looking application pop up! As far as I can tell, these two apps work perfectly fine. However, I didn't get much else to work (e.g., acrobat and the HP printing software both died after the splash screen...). Even with "wordpad.exe" I get some worrisome warning messages: err:win32:fixup_imports No implementation for shlwapi.dll.0(StrRetToBufA) imported from shell32.dll, setting to 0xdeadbeef err:win32:fixup_imports No implementation for shlwapi.dll.0(StrRetToBufW) imported from shell32.dll, setting to 0xdeadbeef FIXME:pthread_rwlock_rdlock FIXME:pthread_rwlock_unlock I think the first two errors are real problems. Not sure about the pthread-related messages. I suppose if someone is serious about this, all of these could be fixed. Oh, to get this to work, I had to switch to 4KB page size. --david
