--- Comment #14 from Rodesam rodesam@proton.me --- @Olivier, I think the purpose of Wine is to allow Windows programs to run under Linux.
In DOSBox the user can install Win3.x (and Win9x in some forks), but regardless of that - Wine provides support for the Win3.x and Win9x programs to run *without* installing any Windows.
Same is for Virtual Machines - you can install latest Windows there, but Wine strives to provide support for Windows programs directly.
So, Win1.x and Win2.x programs compatibility should not be different from the above examples - Wine should allow to run them directly?
OTVDM already has the solution for Win1.x and Win2.x - and I hope it can be backported to Wine.
