Description: Register Wine as the interpreter for Windows executables
Wine is a free MS-Windows API implementation.
.
This package registers Wine as an interpreter for Windows executables, using
the kernel binfmt_misc module. This causes Wine to be invoked automatically
whenever a Windows PE (Portable Executable) file is to be launched.
.
WARNING: This increases the risk of inadvertently launching Windows
malware, so please make sure that you understand the security risks before
blindly installing this package.
.
This feature is probably most interesting for automatic software testing.
Desktop users usually don't need it, so don't install wine-binfmt unless you
know that you need it. Refer to Wine's README.debian for more information.
