The Wine http://www.winehq.com/ project has been created to emulate Windows to be able to run windows softwares directly under Linux without to have to emulate Windows. It's very great and wonderful idea ! The Darwine http://darwine.opendarwin.org/ project aims to to the same but under Mac OS X with adding also the emulation of an x86 CPU. But, I wanted to know something, or even to make a proposal. Would it be possible to make a special Wine version for Linux PPC that instead of emulating Windows would emulate Mac OS ? Yes there's already the very great Mac On Linux PPC (MOL) http://www.maconlinux.org/ that can let run Mac OS applications, but you have to run Mac OS in parallel ... It is great, but Mac OS takes rooms and CPU and for some usages, maybe it is not completely useful. Would it be possible to make such a software a WinePPC for exemple that would let run Microsoft Office X 2004 Mac or Adobe CS Mac or Macromedia MX Mac directly under Linux PPC without having to install a Mac OS ? To make simple to run Mac OS softwares directly under the Linux desktop environment.

So you would need to start a new project that implements the MacOS API. bye michael> > To make simple to run Mac OS softwares directly under the Linux desktop > environment.-- Michael Stefaniuc Tel.: +49-711-96437-199 System Administration Fax.: +49-711-96437-111 Red Hat GmbH Email: mstefani@redhat.com Hauptstaetterstr. 58 http://www.redhat.de/ D-70178 Stuttgart
