Hi all Some time ago I asked about support of WinME and Win2000. The answer was: not ready yet. These days, when people enjoy VSS under Linux, I have to admit I really need wine:) So in a word: can I use Wine with any of these OSes? Could anyone please point me out to the settings I need in my config file (I am especially interested in Profile option)? Thanks in advance Sergey

Wine doesn't "use an OS", but implements the Win(32) Api. There is nothing special about Wine and WinMe or Win2000, as the target is to run applications without the need of any code supplied by the core OS implementation of WinXX. However "core" applications of MS mostly use sophisticated and/or undocumented features of the MS implementation of the WinXX Api, and those applications have their problems with wine ( like many other applications due to errors and/or omissions in the Wine implementation).

Wine runs applications and it has nothing to do with "support of WinME and Win2000". If you mean an optional use of DLLs from ME or 2000 it always only limited by the implemented functionality of DLLs provided by Wine. -- Dmitry.
