   WINE is not the end-all-be-all to run Windows programs.  WINE is a kludge.    
   Now there is something similar to WINE for OS/2 called Odin though I have   
   never used it.  There's something else also, I think called "win32s", but I   
   have never explored either option and perhaps others in here would be better   
   suited to help you with this.   
      
   I admit that if it wasn't for the BBS, I'd not be dealing with OS/2 anymore.    
   There's still too many limitations for me to use ArcaOS as my personal OS   
   even though I still love OS/2 in general.
