Wine is a compatibility layer for running Windows applications on Linux.
Applications are run at full speed without the need of cpu emulation. Wine
does not require Microsoft Windows, however it can use native system dll
files in place of its own if they are available.

This package includes a shell script that can be used to download and
install various redistributable libraries that may be needed for some
programs to work in Wine.
