Running DeepView Windows binaries on Linux If you want to run the Windows binaries of DeepView (Swiss-Pdb Viewer) on your Linux machine (without installing MS Windows), you should think about using wine. (Thanks to Pierre Scotney for the tip ...). What is WINE? Wine is an implementation of Windows APIs on top of X and Unix. Think of Wine as a Windows compatibility layer. Wine provides a program loader, allowing many unmodified Windows binaries to run under Intel Unixes. Wine works on most popular Intel Unixes, including Linux, FreeBSD, and Solaris. How to proceed? Install wine on your Linux system (if it is not already present). Download the PC (Windows) version of DeepView (ZIP-file) Create a spdbv directory, e.g. mkdir /var/lib/wine/spdbv Unzip the windows archive to the /var/lib/wine/spdbv directory Start wcmd in the wcmd window type: c:\spdbv\spdbv Have fun ... Notice: Please note that DeepView running under wine is experimental. Please let us know if you encounter any problems.   Last modified: 06. Feb. 2003 by T.S.
