UNIX is not a Windows replacement; if you must run Windows programs, use Windows.

It's technically possible to load and run Windows programs on an x86 Linux system through Wine. Windows-compatibility is a continuous uphill battle to keep up with Microsoft's nonstop API changes and extensions, so compatibility isn't good enough to guarantee a new graphics-intensive program will operate. Conversely, some older games run better in Wine than they do in modern Windows: older API's still work in Wine even after MS guts them and leaves them to rot.

brandelf

BRANDELF(1)						    BSD General Commands Manual 					       BRANDELF(1)

NAME

     brandelf -- mark an ELF binary for a specific ABI

SYNOPSIS

     brandelf [-lv] [-f ELF_ABI_number] [-t string] file ...

DESCRIPTION

     The brandelf utility marks an ELF binary to be run under a certain ABI for FreeBSD.

     The options are as follows:

     -f ELF_ABI_number
	     Forces branding with the supplied ELF ABI number.	Incompatible with the -t option.  These values are assigned by SCO/USL.

     -l      Writes the list of all known ELF types to the standard error.

     -v      Turns on verbose output.

     -t string
	     Brands the given ELF binaries to be of the string ABI type.  Currently supported ABIs are ``FreeBSD'', ``Linux'', and ``SVR4''.

     file    If -t string is given it will brand file to be of type string, otherwise it will simply display the branding of file.

EXIT STATUS

     Exit status is 0 on success, and 1 if the command fails if a file does not exist, is too short, fails to brand properly, or the brand
     requested is not one of the known types and the -f option is not set.

EXAMPLES

     The following is an example of a typical usage of the brandelf command:

	   brandelf file
	   brandelf -t Linux file
