Wine is an implementation of the Windows Win32 and Win16 APIs on top of X and Unix. Think of Wine as a Windows compatibility layer. Wine provides both a development toolkit (Winelib) for porting Windows sources to Unix and a program loader, allowing many unmodified Windows 3.x/95/98/ME/NT/W2K/XP binaries to run under Intel Unixes. Wine works on most popular Intel Unixes, including Linux, FreeBSD, and Solaris.

This is release 20021007 of Wine, a free implementation of Windows on
Unix
(Not like Lindows crap. This is still a developers only release. There are many bugs and unimplemented features.
ChangeLog:
Massive listview rewrite.
New MS RLE codec.
winemaker should be working again.
Beginnings of Direct3D 8 support.
Lots of bug fixes.
