Win4lin Performance (was: another windoze emulator)

[Jason Stephenson]

Yes, I had Star Craft working on my laptop with Wine and RH 7.2. I 
haven't tried it since upgrading to RH 8.0.

It uses DirectX 5, and most games that do should work. These are older 
games. I've heard that someone got War Craft III working with either 
Win4Lin or Wine, but I haven't actually seen it, or maybe that was with 
VMWare?

Since I use FreeBSD for my "real work" and Windows only for games, I 
made my workstation dual boot. I jokingly refer to my FreeBSD uptime as 
MTBWCIII (Mean Time Between War Craft III).
