It would be interesting to see a Wine-like compatibility layer for OS/2 applications. It could even be included in Wine itself, seeing as there are quite a few analogies between Win16/Win32 and OS/2.

Windows had that subsystem (osxss.exe) but for OS/2 1.x only.

OS/2 Warp could run Windows apps but it had actually a Windows 3.1 inside of it. A bit like XP mode on Windows 7.
