Wine is a Windows emulator running under Unix on i386 (and higher) CPUs. It is still Alpha quality, i.e. don't expect it to run your typical large MS-Windows application package, but it is definitely on its way ... To use Wine, you need to enable the machdep.userldt sysctl, either via /etc/sysctl.conf, or by entering (as root): sysctl -w machdep.userldt=1
