Mistaken for emulator
A number of programs which provide compatibility for running programs designed for other operating systems on the same hardware are sometimes mistaken for emulators:
- Cygwin - software development tools for porting applications that runs on POSIX systems (such as Linux systems, BSD systems, and Unix systems) to run on Microsoft Windows with little more than a recompilation
- E/OS has the goal of making it possible to run any program designed for any operating system without the need to actually install any other operating system.
- FreeBSD and other BSD Unixes have system call translation allowing them to run Linux binaries compiled for the same platform
- iBCS (Intel Binary Compatibility Standard) allows a number of x86 Unix operating systems to run a common binary format
- LINE runs x86 Linux programs on Microsoft Windows
- Mac-On-Linux, ShapeShifter, Simics, Parallels Workstation, Plex86, Virtual PC for Windows, and VMware run entire operating systems inside another. This is called virtualization. Basilisk II also supports virtualization on m68k platforms.
- MinGW or Mingw32 (Minimalist GNU for Windows) is a software port of the GNU toolchain to the Win32 platform.
- SCO UNIX has a similar "Linux kernel personality"
- WABI (Windows Application Binary Interface) - Microsoft Windows Application Programming Interface (API)translator from Sun Microsystem.
- WINE (WINE Is Not an Emulator) - Open Source Microsoft Windows Application Programming Interface (API) translation for Linux. Commercial products based on WINE are:
- CrossOver Office from Codeweavers.
- Cedega from Transgaming.
- CoLinux - runing Linux under Windows
- WinLinux - running Linux under Windows
