WinG
In computing, WinG (pronounced Win Gee) was an API to provide faster graphics performance on Windows 3.1. WinG included API calls such as CreateDIBSection(), SetDIBColorTable(), BitBlt(), and StretchBlt(). WinG out-of-the-box support (i.e. as a separate API to Win32) was dropped in Windows 98 Second Edition (which integrated DirectX 6), as it did absolutely nothing but pass through to the Win32 APIs that it was wrapping. WinG DLLs were sometimes distributed with the application then it merely became a matter of copying the files wing.dll, wing32.dll, wingde.dll, wingdib.drv and wngpal.wnd to one's 'system32' directory to regain system-wide support.

Wing
A wing is a surface used to produce lift and therefore flight, for travel in the air or another gaseous medium. The wing shape is usually an airfoil. The first use of the word was for the foremost limbs of birds, but has been extended to include the wings of insectsbats and pterosaurs and also man-made devices.
