,----[ Quote ]
| Since the release of WINE 1.1.16 two weeks ago, the open-source developers 
| have been working on joystick support for Mac OS X, implementing iphlpapi on 
| Solaris, a number of 64-bit improvements, the obsolete LinuxThreads support 
| has been dropped, and Windows regression test fixes. These changes plus the 
| usual round of bug-fixes has now gone on to form the WINE 1.1.17 release.

Windows Unix Subsystem finally catches up to Wine

,----[ Quote ]
| This is just some interesting reading you guys might enjoy. It seems, the
| Unix subsystem will give you the ability to create a mixed application able
| to call Win32 and Unix functionality. In effect PSX becomes like wineserver
| and you have to wrap your win32 libs as posix libraries. (sound familure).
