I've read about such work. But I'm not sure that 64bit wine would only |
| 8 |
be able to cope with 64bit windows apps. |

I can remember ages ago, I was able to have wine on my multilib system |
| 11 |
(at that time THAT was considered novel) this ment however, that I could |
| 12 |
no longer run 16bit windows apps. |
| 13 |
I had been using wine through a chroot at that time, it was the |
| 14 |
'regular' 32bit version, and I was used to doing just that(running |
| 15 |
16bit apps and 32bit apps). |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
So my understanding would be that on a non-multilib system, a 'pure' |
| 18 |
64bit build of wine, could still be able to run 32bit and 64bit windows |
| 19 |
apps, just not the old 16bit apps (support for which has long been gone |
| 20 |
anyway), similar to a 64bit windows does. |

But I don't really know... |
