You are most welcome.

Well, after giving you a link to the WINE website, I'd have thought you
might be able to find that out for yourself. As you (aparently) cannot,
my experiences with it may be of interest to you:

I've used WINE to run IBM HomePage builder (A special "IBM WINE") which
was quite responsive and easy to use -- even on my low-spec laptop
(PII-233, 192MB RAM). It does take a little while to load up initially,
and it sucks a bit of memory, but that really depends on what you're
doing.

I've heard of WINE running fairly complex windows games quite well.
You'd have to do some research to find out whether or not that is
actually true of not.
