Ahh, so it emulates the APIs of Windows, not Windows itself. In that
respect it's more like Crossover, also based on WINE. I've not used it
but they target gamers who want to run Windows games without having to
buy a full seat of Windows in addition to the emulator. Crossover is $60
from a company called Codeweavers and I think they have a free trial:

Thanks, I might have a look at virtualbox, I didn't know it was free.
The advantage to winonx is that you don't need windows, just the
windows program you want to run, so no licenses or million-character
codes to mess with. I don't think I even have my windows code anymore,
so I couldn't authorize a vm.

Nope, and I wonder what they have that the others don't? Depending on
how much you value your time, it might be better just paying a bit
more for Fusion (about $40) which has an accessible UI and there are
a lot of tips in this email archive on making it work well with
Jaws/VO. You can also play with Virtualbox which is free. The GUI is
not accessible with voiceover but it has a full command line
interface which you can use from terminal:

Hi all,
I just found out about an app called winonx, which is supposed to
let you run windows programs on the mac. It sounds great, but the
reviews say it doesn't work. A game maker on Twitter, though, says
his newer games work fine. The main site is down right now, but the
app store link seems good. I wondered if anyone here has tried this
app, and, if so, how it worked for you. Any information would be
great. Mostly I want to run my audio games on the mac, as that is
really all I use windows for anymore, but I also don't want to blow
$5 on an app that won't support anything I want to run. If it helps,
the applications I want to run are mostly all written in VB. Thanks
in advance.
Have a great day,
