Jeremy, I am sorry if my remarks troubled you. Perhaps my meaning didn't come across as intended? I didn't mean to imply that WINE is not currently useful or has an impossible task. I believe just the opposite - that WINE is useful and it can, one day, achieve 100% Windows compatibility. Though I do believe that given the consent decree that was adopted, WINE's job was not made much easier. I am simply trying to figure out what would be the best aid to the WINE effort.
Thanks! Susheel

My belief (which opposes the 'fact' stated above) is that if there was virtually complete documentation of what exists, and full disclosure of additions and modifications, a cloning could be achieved. Of course it would take a huge capital and time investment, but the payoff would likely be worth it.
Well, it's lovely to know that we don't exist <grin>.
To be honest, I'm a bit troubled by your remark. I think Wine is a lot further along than you, and most other people, seem to realize; further, we're not just lazing around waiting for help.
