Do "Auto Hot Key" .exe files work on Mac OSX and Linux?

I have converted a Dvorak.ahk file into a Dvorak.exe file . The Dvorak.exe file works on other Windows computers which don't have the actual AHK program installed. This means that the keyboard that I use will act like a Dvorak keyboard.

I was wondering if the .exe file will still work on Mac OSX and Linux seeing that the AHK program uses Windows as its main platform?

Thanks in advance.

    Use wine and most .exe files should run okay.

    Linux:

    sudo apt-get install wine

    If you already have wine and it doesnt, try searching the wine site for additional DLLs that could support this.

    Neither Mac nor Linux will know what to do with an exe file type!

    .exe files are not recognised by Mac
