LOL!! I just explained everything to you already in the previous post in hopes to avoid the very same thing you just said right now...but I guess it did not work.


I guess you still miss the main thing about WINE. If WINE was available for OS4 on PPC it would yield you exactly nothing as _not_a_single_ Windows (x86) application would actually run. WINE is no emulator but an API wrapper. x86 code on a ppc just will not work. Period. On a non x86 system there's no other solution to run Windows x86 applications than to emulate hardware. You can do this for example with Bochs, but it's rather slow.

Is it possible for WINE to work on AROS then?

On AROS x86 a proper port of WINE would probably work (much work however and hence not too likely to happen).
