Win4Lin is really neither Wine nor VMWare. It provides a virtual DOS
environment (kind of) in which Windows 9x/ME can run. It does not provide a
"ground up" virtual machine like VMWare, nor does it "emulate" windows. You
actually install a full version of windows under Win4Lin, and it runs a
windows session, under which you run applications.
