We'll mention some alternatives (or we could also say:

competitors) to Wine here that might come in handy if Wine is

not usable for the program or job you want it to do, since

these alternatives usually provide better Windows compatibility.

<ulink url="http://www.vmware.com">VMWare</ulink> is a

software package to emulate an additional machine on your PC.
|

In other words, it establishes a virtual machine that can be
|
||||
used to run any kind of Intel x86 compatible operating system
|
||||
in parallel to your currently running operating system.

Thus you could use Linux and at the same time run Windows 98

|

Sounds nice, doesn't it? Well, there are some drawbacks, of
|
||||
course... First, VMWare is pretty expensive, and second, you
|
||||
need a licensed copy of the operating system you want to run.
|
||||
Third, since VMWare is a virtual machine, it's quite slow.
|
||||
Wine doesn't have any of these limitations, but unfortunately
|
||||
this also means that you will not have the relatively good
|
||||
compatibility of a real original Windows system if you use
|
||||
Wine.
