I did think that too, but I said "API layer" because I thaught I might have been wrong.

I suppose Wine is both an interpretor and an emulator, how confusing?

hm_murdock:
no... its name is true. it is not an emulator. it's a true Windows API on *nix.

Wrong again, Wine is an emulator.

Dictionary definition for the word emulator:

1. To strive to equal or excel, especially through imitation: an older pupil whose accomplishments and style I emulated.

2. To compete with successfully; approach or attain equality with.

3. Computer Science. To imitate the function of (another system), as by modifications to hardware or software that allow the imitating system to accept the same data, execute the same programs, and achieve the same results as the imitated system.

insomnia, does your small brain fail to understand this?
