Odin (code conversion software)

<h2 id="technical-overview">Technical overview</h2>
<p>Odin achieves binary compatibility by converting Win32 executables and <a href="/facts/Dynamic-link_library/vySyC1dz">dynamic-link libraries</a> to OS/2 format. Conversion can be done on the fly (each time the application is run) or permanently. Odin does not use <a href="/facts/Emulator/FMHE8qDj">emulation</a> or a <a href="/facts/Compatibility_layer/UU3le7BV">compatibility layer</a>.
</p><p>Odin identifies itself to Windows applications as <a href="/facts/Windows_2000/amJIt9gz">Windows 2000</a> Service Pack 2.
</p><p>Odin uses code from <a href="/facts/Wine_(software)/JF0wHs7y">Wine</a>, which runs Win32 applications on <a href="/facts/Unix-like/YAKrAxzd">Unix-like</a> <a href="/facts/Operating_system/8XTuvMh2">operating systems</a>.
</p>
<h2 id="name">Name</h2>
<p>The project is named after <a href="/facts/Odin/4XHsn2RF">Odin</a>, the <a href="/facts/God/EITpdL9t">god</a> of wisdom and supreme god of <a href="/facts/Germanic_peoples/N16QoPA7">Germanic</a> and <a href="/facts/Norse_mythology/hEKfeQql">Norse mythology</a>.
