It's sort of like the difference between a program that performs

internal structures of a Texas Instruments calculator -- a hardware device
which also performs mathematical calculations on numbers. The programs may
look similar, but inside, they are two entirely different beasts. The
gap between wine and an x86 emulator is a BIT less wide than that, but not
nearly enough to require a name-change on wine's part.
OTOH, if he insists on making up his own definitions for words,
he's free to do so. He'll just have to put up with the fact that the rest
of the planet is talking past him.

I've already got someone like that, he tends to not use punctuation except the rare question mark and exclamations (which occure in multiples). He also can't spell. I'd cut him a break, but he's English.

Well, you know, India used to be a British colony no less than 50-60 years ago...


Thanks much.
