subject: 2ine (pronounced `twine`) OS/2 emulation for Linux

* Originally in os2
* Crossposted in linux

Interesting (and technical) blog post from Ryan C. Gordon about an OS/2
emulation layer for Linux that he's been working on:

"I've been building a project called "2ine," pronounced
"twine," which emulates OS/2 binaries in the same way that Wine
emulates Windows binaries. I named it as such to continue the fine
tradition of programmers producing good code and bad product names."

Found via https://virtuallyfun.com/2018/02/23/2ine-the-os-2-emulator/.

I got 2ine to build and run on a 64-bit Ubuntu 16.04 PC here, and managed
to get InfoZip UnZip 5.52 (unzip.exe) to run under the emulator, but
unfortunately very little else. So it's very early days, but hopefully
he'll continue working on it.

Regards
Andrew
