Let me add my 2 penny worth here... Wine (if I remember right) stands
for Wine Is Not an Emulator.  So your statement is true, but completely
wrong.

Naming things correctly is a step in the right direction. Learn what the
name means and you get an insite into what the software is about.  In
this case, it does not emulate windows, but provides a layer that
interprets the calls that windows makes and translates them to (amoung
others) X11 calls.

Yeah I know im nit picking, but it bugs me as well!

No flame ment,

Regards
