Free Download Wine 1.2.3 / 1.3.36 - Linux Software - Wine is an Open Source implementation of the Windows API on X and Unix.
Think of Wine as a compatibility layer for running Windows programs. Wine does not require Microsoft Windows, as it is a completely free alternative
implementation of the Windows API consisting of 100% non-Microsoft code, however Wine optional native Windows DLLs if they are available. Wine provides both a development toolkit for porting Windows source code to Unix as well as a program loader, allowing many unmodified Windows programs on x86-based Unix, including running Linux, FreeBSD and Solaris.Software Info:
