Thanks for your quick replies. Basically my application runs on depending 8 executables.If I run all these executables using wine which inturn depends on Wineserver which may be a bottleneck.I mean to say if the winesever gets crashed then my application will come down.Instead of this I planned to build all the executables using winelib.It doesnt use any MFC classes whereas includes wine32 APIs with C++ code base. Thanks, Yug
