This shellscript helps to choose the execution environment for a windows executable on linux. Depending on the file signature it runs the file with WINE (for x86 and x64 applications), Mono (for .NET), or dosbox (for 16bit programs). As a secrity measure, only files with the execuatble flag will be launched.
