Linux support?
Need clarification in the documentation for Linux support (or lack thereof).
I found this online on an Ubuntu centric website https://ubunlog.com/en/winevdm-a-16-bit-windows-app-emulation-layer/
this and the fact that it's based on wine implies Linux support, but it's not stated anywhere in the Readme and all the text here is Windows centric.
Please clarify the documentation

Pretty sure it's included in regular wine (you might need a 32-bit wineprefix)
The whole point of this program is to allow 16-bit Windows programs to run on 64-bit Windows. Why would Linux be a consideration? If you want to run Windows programs in Linux, that's what WINE itself is for.

To run 16-bit Windows programs on 64-bit Linux
Wine already allows running 16bit programs, provided your kernel supports that. Although this project is quite ahead in terms of compatibility. Sitenote, I still want to port fixes over to Wine, but it's hard to figure out what exactly. It's not easy trying to sync fixes between two pretty different codebases. But then again, you can run winevdm in Wine. You just need to mark the DLLs as native.
