[cw-discuss] Strange

[Richard Lemay]

I do not think it is that simple.
Apple ported this particular application, but they did not necessarly 
port the whole API.
Furthermore, Apple remains a closed source company and may not have 
opened all the API (do not think that Apple is automatically better than 
Microsoft on that aspect... after all, they used BSD license which do 
not force them to open anything).

That said, maybe this will become possible now that Apple use the Intel 
platform. This is easier for emulators that do not have to convert the 
code for the PowerPC platform. However, given the state of Wine that is 
quite advanced, I tend to think the Win32 applications will come sooner 
that the Mac Application.
