IIRC our good old ( now dead :crying: ) King Udo boasted (cca 10 years ago) about having successfully compiled (another 10 years back) 90% of WINE with DGJPP ... so 90% from a 20 years old version of WHINE relative to today :-\

Debugging ? Screenshooting ? Slowing down (unfortunately emulation is not that useful to speed up things) ? Anyway, official Win32 2.6 works acceptably with 6 years old HX :-\

WRONG. I had restored it (this page and some other pages, some still missing or outdated) cca 2 months ago:

The downloads are:

1. hard to find
2. located on crappy servers (10% chance to get them with non-DOS and Jawashit, 0% in DOS)
3. bloated, messy, and illegal (3rd party non-redistributable stuff inside)

Indeed (+ NOTEPAD, + REGEDIT, ...)

Please explain what's obscure. YES I did find my files there :-) Maybe they can't beat WINE by features, but, at least, until someone provides a rock-solid evidence of the opposite, I'll continue ASS'ume'ing that they are, at least, 100% clean, from both technical and legal aspects :-)

They are ... partially ... and partially translated into Russian ... but I'm not going to approve the correctness, sorry.
