This is the 341 issue of the Wine Weekly News publication. Its main goal is to bring that warm fuzzy feeling that you get when you look at a baby puppy with those big, beady eyes to all it's readers. It also serves to inform you of what's going on around Wine. Wine is an open source implementation of the Windows API on top of X and Unix. Think of it as a Windows compatibility layer. Wine does not require Microsoft Windows, as it is a completely alternative implementation consisting of 100% Microsoft-free code, but it can optionally use native system DLLs if they are available.
