Wine is a Microsoft Windows compatibility layer (or program loader)
|
|
capable of running Windows applications on i386 and compatible CPUs.
|
|
Windows programs running in Wine act as native programs would, running
|
|
without the performance or memory usage penalties of an emulator, with
|
|
a similar look and feel to other applications on your desktop.
|
|
|
|
Many applications already work, more or less, including versions of
|
|
Microsoft Office and many games.
|
|
|
|
Use this port for 32-bit Windows binaries in an i386 environment or
|
|
64-bit Windows binaries in an amd64 environment; use emulators/i386-wine
|
|
for 32-bit Windows binaries in an amd64 environment.
