30 - 45 minutes


Wine Appreciation
Speaker: Alan German

Wine Is Not an Emulator; the software translates calls to the Windows Application Programming Interface into Posix code and allows Windows programs to run under Linux (and certain other operating systems). But, the Windows API's are Huge, not well documented, full of tricky behaviours and side effects - and no source code is available - to non-residents of Redmond, WA! Not surprising then, that it took 15 years to provide the first stable release - Wine 1.0. We will take a look at how to implement Wine, install and run Windows applications, and review a number of sources that can provide further information and some special assistance.

30 - 45 minutes
