<p><b>A:</b> Wine is an execution layer that allows Windows programs to be run
|

on Linux Systems. More information can be found at the

|
||||
<p><b>A:</b>Think of Wine as a Windows compatibility layer. Wine does not require
|
||||
Microsoft Windows, as it is a completely alternative implementation
|
||||
consisting of 100% Microsoft-free code, but it can optionally use
|
||||
native system DLLs if they are available. Wine provides both a development
|
||||
toolkit (Winelib) for porting Windows sources to Unix and a program loader,
|
||||
allowing many unmodified Windows binaries to run on x86-based Unixes, including
