<question id="What-is-Wine-and-what-is-it-supposed-to">
<para>What is Wine and what is it supposed to do ?</para>
</question>
<answer>
<para>
Wine is a program which allows the operation of DOS and MS
Windows programs (Windows 3.x and Win32 executables) on UNIX.
It consists of a program loader, which loads and executes a Windows
binary, and a library that implements Windows API calls using
their UNIX or X11 equivalents. The library may also be used
for porting Win32 code into native UNIX executables, often
without many changes in the source. Wine is free software,
and its license (contained in the file LICENSE
in each distribution) is LGPL style.

<question id="Are-here-any-alternatives-to-Wine">
<para>Are there any alternatives to Wine?</para>
</question>
<answer>
<para>
Yes, there are. You can use VMWare to run a Windows installation
inside a virtual machine, or use Win4Lin to run a specially
adapted Windows version on Linux. Both solutions cost money for
both the software itself and a Windows license.
</para>
<para>
Note that, like Wine, they can only use the hardware platform that
the target programs were originally compiled for (see below).

<question id="Difference-between-Wine-and-emulators">
<para>What is the difference between Wine and x86 hardware emulators?</para>
</question>
<answer>
<para>
There are two free x86 hardware emulators:
<ulink url="http://bochs.sourceforge.net"> bochs</ulink>, and
<ulink url="http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/plex86"> plex86</ulink>.
</para>
<para>
Plex86 is the opensource free-software alternative for VMWare,
VirtualPC, and other IA-32 on IA-32 "Virtual PC products." It
can only run on the IA-32 architecture.
</para>
<para>
Bochs is a highly portable open source IA-32 (x86) PC emulator
written in C++, that runs on most popular platforms. It includes emulation
of the Intel x86 CPU, common I/O devices, and a custom BIOS. Currently,
bochs can be compiled to emulate a 386, 486 or Pentium CPU. Bochs is capable
of running most Operating Systems inside the emulation including Linux,
Windows<77> 95, DOS, and recently Windows<77> NT 4.
</para>
<para>
Both are licensed under the GPL. Bochs is older than plex86, seems to be
easier to install, but plex86 will run faster because plex86 uses a real
time binary compiler. The drawback of all emulators is that you need a version
of Windows in order to run Windows.

<question id="Why-would-anyone-want-Wine-Windows-suck">
<para>Why would anyone want Wine? Doesn't Windows suck?</para>
</question>
<answer>
<para>
First Wine is not about running Windows but about running Windows
applications.
</para>
<para>
So if all your computing needs are fulfilled by native Unix
applications, then you do not need Wine and should not be using
it. However, if you depend on one or more of the tens of
thousands of Windows applications, then Wine is the best way to
use it without giving up on Unix. Let's look at the alternatives
to see why:
</para>
<para>
The most obvious alternative is to dual-boot. This is the solution
that provides the best compatibility. However it requires that you
acquire a Windows license and then dedicate a good chunk of your
hard-drive to Windows. But the worst is yet to come. Each time you
will want to use that application you will have to reboot to
Windows. This is especially significant if external factors dictate
when you must use this application (e.g. credit card to process,
email to retrieve from a Lotus Notes server). Then you will find
yourself forced to close all your Linux applications just to run
that one Windows application. You may quickly get tired of this, or
will find that such a situation is impossible to justify in a
business environment.
</para>
<para>
The next solution is to install virtual machine emulation software
such as VMWare, Win4Lin or Plex86. Then you can use windows
applications without suffering such a big disruption. But it still
requires that you acquire a Windows license and dedicate as much
disk space to Windows. Furthermore you will pay for the added
convenience: if using VMWare or Win4Lin you have to buy another
license, and more importantly you now have to dedicate a good chunk
of your computer's memory to the virtual machine. Performance will
take a significant hit too.
</para>
<para>
Using Wine lets you avoid all of that overhead: Windows license,
hard-drive space required by Windows, memory and performance hit
taken by emulated virtual machines. Now you can start your Windows
application straight from your regular desktop environment, place
that application's window side by side with native application
windows, copy/paste from one to the other, and run it all at full speed.
</para>
<para>
It is also a pretty vital part of migrating a large organisation,
you can't change a 5000 desktop setup overnight without a lot of risk.

<para>What's the history of Wine?</para>
</question>
<answer>
<para>
The Wine project started in 1993 as a way to support running Windows 3.1
programs on Linux. Bob Amstadt was the original coordinator, but turned
it over fairly early on to Alexandre Julliard, who has run it ever
since. A <ulink url="news:comp.emulators.ms-windows.wine">newsgroup</ulink>
was created in July 1994. Over the years, ports for
other Unixes have been added, along with support for Win32 as Win32
applications became popular.

<answer>
<para>
A new version of Wine is distributed about every month. You will be
able to keep up on all the latest releases by reading the newsgroup
<ulink url="news:comp.emulators.ms-windows.wine">
comp.emulators.ms-windows.wine</ulink>, or by visiting the
<ulink url="http://www.winehq.com">Wine HQ homepage</ulink>. When
downloading Wine from your FTP site of choice (see
<ulink url="http://www.winehq.com/download.shtml">the Download page</ulink>
for some of these choices), you can make sure that you are getting
the latest version by watching the version numbers in the distribution
filename. For instance, the distribution released on October 31, 2002
was called Wine-20021031.tar.gz. Patch files are also available. If
you are current to the previous version, you can download and apply
just the current patch file rather than the entire new distribution.
The patch filenames follow the same conventions as the monthly
distribution. <ulink url="http://www.winehq.com/dev.shtml">

<para>When will Wine be finished?</para>
</question>
<answer>
<para>
Large software projects are never finished, only released. In any
case Wine is chasing a moving target since every new release of
Windows contains new API calls or variations to the existing ones.
</para>
<para>
Because Wine is being developed by volunteers, it is difficult to
predict when it will be ready for general release. But due to the
much increased interest by companies in porting apps via Wine, Wine
development is constantly getting more and more active. Right now
we are working on releasing Wine 0.9 during 2003

</question>
<answer>
<para>
The best would be if the Windows API was fully documented, so Wine
could be a perfect "clean-room" implementation. Seeing the source
code might make it harder to prove that no copyright violations have
taken place. That said, the documentation is often bad, nonexistent,
and even misleading where it exists, so a fair amount of reverse
engineering have been necessary, particularly in the shell (Explorer)
interface.

</question>
<answer>
<para>
Wine is being developed specifically to run on the Intel x86 class
of CPUs under certain UNIXes that run on the x86 platform.
</para>
<para>
NetBSD, OpenBSD, Unixware, and SCO OpenServer 5 worked at one time,
but Wine now requires kernel-level threads which are not currently
available (or understood by the Wine team) in those platforms.
</para>
<para>
The Wine development team hopes to attract the interest of other
commercial UNIX and UNIX clone vendors as well.
</para>
<para>
BeOS: porting efforts used to be pretty strong, but BeOS has severe
limitations in Unix call support, so a port will probably never
happen.

</para>
</question>
<answer>
<para>
We need to differentiate between Wine and Winelib here.
</para>
<para>
Wine won't run on any x86 CPU less than an 80386 due to address
management limitations
</para>
<para>
It is known to also work in the 80486 and upwards compatible CPUs.
The basic test is, if you can run X11 now, you should be able to run
Wine and MS Windows applications under it.
</para>
<para>
As always, the faster your CPU, the better. Having a math coprocessor
is unimportant. However, having a graphics accelerated video card
supported by X will help greatly

How much RAM do I need to have on my UNIX system to be able to run

</para>
</question>
<answer>
<para>
If you can run X smoothly on your UNIX system now, you should be
able to run Wine and MS Windows applications just fine too, depending
on how memory hungry the application is.
</para>
<para>
A Wine workstation will work with 16 megabytes of RAM and a 16
megabyte swap partition as long as you have a reasonable graphics
card. Most applications will run reasonably with 64/64 Mb,
interactive games are likely to need more. You can run Wine with 8/8,
but it is going to be unusably slow and very constraining on the
applications you can run. If you wish to be part of the development
team and program Wine itself, be aware that the debugger is rather
memory intensive. Some have suggested that 64 megabytes is the
minimum RAM needed for Wine development, although some are able to
work (albeit slowly) with 24 megabytes of physical RAM and lots of
swap space.

Yes, but only if the operating system supports mounting those types

drives. More specifically, it supports mounting DOS 6.0 and 6.2
Doublespaced, DOS 6.22 Drivespaced, and Windows 95 Doublespaced
compressed partitions (read and write access works fine, but write
access is slow). It can be found at

</question>
<answer>
<para>
You do not need a licensed and installed copy of DOS or MS Windows to
install, configure and run Wine. However, Wine has to be able to
'see' an MS Windows binary (i.e. application) if it is to run it.

<question id="Does-MS-Windows-need-to-be-installed">
<para>
Does MS Windows need to be loaded into that partition in order to
run MS Windows programs under Wine?
</para>
</question>
<answer>
<para>
Many folks have successfully installed and run some small programs
in their UNIX filesystem without having a DOS partition or MS
Windows. However, in many cases you need a directory and file
infrastructure that is similar to an existing Windows installation.
Some applications' installation programs want to distribute some of
the package's files into the /windows and /windows/system
directories in order to run, and unless these exist on your UNIX
file system, those programs will not install correctly and probably
will not run well, if at all.
</para>
<para>
If you have a DOS partition with MS Windows installed in it, make
sure that your UNIX system can 'see' this partition (check your
/etc/fstab file or mount the partition manually) so that Wine can
run the MS Windows binaries located in the DOS partition. To run
without a DOS partition, you need to set a UNIX path to be your
drive C, and make sure that the /windows and /windows/system
directories point to some place that actually exist.
</para>
<para>
Here's an example, copied from a machine which has no DOS partition
but successfully runs Wine:
</para>
<screen>
[Drive C]
Path=/var/lib/wine
Type=hd
Label=MS-DOS
Filesystem=win95
[wine]
Windows=c:\windows
System=c:\windows\system
Temp=e:\
Path=c:\windows;c:\windows\system;c:
</screen>
<para>
In <filename>/var/lib/wine/windows</filename>, you will need to
install a <filename>win.ini</filename> config file that you might
find on a typical MS Windows 3.1 machine. The directory
<filename>/var/lib/wine/windows/system</filename> should exist, but
doesn't need to contain anything. However, to use MS DLLs, you can
copy them into that directory. Note that this is a contravention of
the Windows licence unless Windows is properly installed on the
machine. If you have DOS/MS Windows installed on your system, you can
mount that partition at bootup by modifying the file
<filename>/etc/fstab</filename> in your UNIX partition (assuming that
the UNIX kernel supports the DOS/MS Windows filesystem type).
</para>
<para>
If you edit this file by hand, it should contain something similar
to the following:
</para>
<screen>
/dev/hda1 /dosc msdos uid=0,gid=100,umask=007 0 0
</screen>
<para>
This will allow you to read and write to the DOS partition without
being root.

Will I be able to install MS Windows applications in any flavor of a
UNIX file system?

</question>
<answer>

Wine is written to be file system independent, so MS Windows
applications will install and run under virtually any file system
supported by your brand of UNIX.

<question id="Will-Wine-run-only-under-X">
<para> Will Wine run only under X, or can it run in character mode?</para>
</question>
<answer>
<para>
Most of Wine's development effort is geared against MS Windows' GUI,
but some limited support for character mode has appeared, by setting
<parameter>GraphicsDriver=ttydrv</parameter> in wine.conf's
<parameter>[wine]</parameter> section.
</para>
<para>
Wine's infrastructure is already somewhat prepared for supporting
other graphics drivers than x11drv, but no real "alternative"
graphics driver has been used yet.

<question id="Will-Wine-run-under-any-X-window-manager">
<para>Will Wine run under any X window manager? Does it require a window manager at all?</para>
</question>
<answer>
<para>
Wine is window manager independent, so the X window manager you
choose to run has (almost) no bearing on your ability to run MS
Windows programs under Wine. Wine uses standard X libraries, so no
additional ones are needed. Wine has its own window management,
which acts like MS Windows. It can be turned off to use the native
window manager by modifying Managed or Desktop settings as described
in <command>man wine.conf</command>.

<para>Is there a CVS tree?</para>
</question>
<answer>
<para>
Current Wine sources are also available via anonymous client/server
CVS. You will need CVS 1.9 or above. If you are coming from behind a
firewall, you will either need a hole in the firewall for the CVS
port (2401) or use SOCKS.
</para>
<para>
To login to the CVS tree, do
</para>
<screen>
export CVSROOT=:pserver:cvs@cvs.winehq.com/home/wine
cvs login
</screen>
<para>
Use "cvs" as the password (without the quotes). Note that
<filename>/home/wine</filename> is a path on the server, not on your
machine. To check out the entire Wine source tree (which may be
slow), use
</para>
<screen>
cvs -z 3 checkout wine
</screen>
<para>
or if you just want a subtree, or individual file, you can do that
too with
</para>
<screen>
cvs -z 3 checkout wine/ANNOUNCE
</screen>
<para>
Be aware, though, that getting the entire Wine source tree via CVS
is pretty slow, especially compared to getting Wine from an FTP
mirror near you. For a CVS mirror list, see

<para>
Wine-YYYYMMDD.diff.gz
</para>
<para>
Patch files are available from the same sites that distribute the
full release. To upgrade to a new release by using a patch file,
first cd to the top-level directory of the release (the one
containing the README file), then do a "make clean", and patch the
release with
</para>
<screen>
gunzip -c patch-file | patch -p1

where patch-file is the name of the patch file something like
Wine-YYYYMMDD.diff.gz. You can then re-run ./configure, and then run
make depend && make

Simple answer: you CAN'T. Windows demands direct access to the

</para>
<para>
Wine is supposed to be used WITHOUT Windows primarily. If you want
to use a Windows installation, then use an existing installation
alongside the UNIX installation (see the dual-boot HOWTO for your OS
for more details). Or alternatively use the cabextract utility to
extract Windows install archives to a directory that you want to use
as Wine's Windows tree.

I'd say Win98SE is the best version to use with Wine, as it's fairly

Remember too that unless your version of UNIX can see through it, or

natively 'see' files located in these compressed DOS partitions.

You really shouldn't want to do this. If there's a quirk in Wine

all you're a developer, so you should be able to gather enough help
and knowledge to fix it for real).
