Yeah, Wine is not actual Winblows, and he knows it.  He plays dumb,
which is kind of funny given the stereotype of the AOL-connected
Winblows fanboy, he isn't really such but he plays as if he is, sort of.

Is Wine standalone? I tried it a long time ago and I thought you had to
provide dlls from a Windows box. I was trying to use TEFview, a player for
TableEdit files. I don't think Wine could do MIDI at the time so it didn't
work.

I think Wine does utilize certain actual M$ code, but not in terms of
its basic functioning, it's like the .NET stuff, and whatnot, added on
to the base installation as needed.

Amendment XIV
Section 1.

[...] No state shall make or enforce any law which shall
abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the
United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of
life, liberty, or property, without due process of law;
nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal
protection of the laws.

Dobbs rewrites this, it is invalid precedent.  States are
liable for denying needed abortions, e.g. TX.
