[Coco] VCC configuration discussion

[Barry Nelson]

You can install a Windows application using Wine under Linux, but I am not aware of a Wine Bottler application for Linux. I don't think there is one, mainly because Linux does not use application packages like Mac does. I guess you could manually make an rpm for Linux that would install a Windows application with Wine as a prerequisite and setup a launcher to run it, but I don't know of anything that would automate that process like Wine Bottler does on Mac. If anyone else does know of such an application, please send me a link.

> Just a nit to pick, I guess, but if you "bottle" an application from a Linux system it will then run on other similarly configured Linux installations, same as the Mac "bottled" version runs on similar Macs. Obviously a Wine lib compiled version is better due to size, but thought I'd point out the most likely obvious...
