Hi,Plz tell me what is wine and how to use it.

Wine is an Open Source implementation of the Windows API
on top of X, OpenGL, and Unix.
From: http://www.winehq.org/

Basically it allows you to run (some) applications designed for
Windows under Linux.

There is a page describing it on help.ubuntu.com ,
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine

Hope that helps.
