New PlayOnLinux helper plugin adds winetricks integration
,----[ Quote ]
| NSLW posted on the PlayOnLinux forums about the new helper plugin he wrote. I
| have posted this news here in the hopes that PlayOnLinux users will download
| and help test the plugin. The feature list is impressive for a first release,
| with some testing and input im sure it will only improve over time...
|
| I wrote a application which makes PlayOnLinux more ergonomically usable. The
| program can be freely redistributed and executed. It is written in GTK and it
| meets the needs of the PlayOnLinux community.

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).
