Wine is a way to run Windows software on Linux, but with no Windows required. Wine is an open-source Windows compatibility layer that can run Windows programs directly on any Linux desktop. Essentially, Wine is trying to re-implement enough of Windows from scratch so that it can run all those Windows applications without actually needing Windows.
SCREENSHOTS:
SpecOS
DESCRIPTION:
A multi-threaded-style OS for the Spectrum +3.
Based on a kernel/userland model, it decouples the kernel implementation from the run-time system call mechanism, and provides for some POSIX-style functions. A file descriptors layer provides abstraction for easy file redirection.
Userland processes are relocatable, and have no knowledge of the kernel or memory layout, leaving the flexibility to change the memory paging model without requiring a recompile of all userland programs.
Programming Language
Assembly, C
This is an application that can also be fetched from https://sourceforge.net/projects/specos/. It has been hosted in OnWorks in order to be run online in an easiest way from one of our free Operative Systems.
