Well, it is a system call implementation. It does not try emulating any parts of a running Windows system. It is quite more complex than, say, AOUT executable support under ELF-based systems. But it works strictly on-demand as far as I understand, without a continuously resident subsystem with its own separate runtime behavior. Sure, this may appear like pure sophistry, but _you_ use your nomenclature for making statements about the system that are just factually wrong. That's where being careless with terminology stops being irrelevant. -- David Kastrup _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
