Reading Line Status Register for Serial Communications on win32
by SAM . 14 Jan '02

14 Jan '02

Hi, I am currently trying to write a program to implement a communication protocol using WIN32 APIs on Windows NT 4.0. For this purpose it is required for me to read the parity bit of the Line Status Register when receiving data. The only way I could think of doing this was using by using IOCTL_SERIAL_LSRMST_INSERT code and enabling the LSRMST INSERT mode so that LSR information will be in the data stream read by ReadFile. Unfortunately for some reason this doesnt seem to work according to how it is documented. If anybody has used this function before can you please give me some tips as to what I might be doing wrong??? Also are there any other methods by which I can read the LSR on NT??? Thanks.

Re: A better calling interface for tests (and some bugfixes)

I hope I have time to try writing some tests soon. I'm already pointing graduate students who ask for projects at this. Say, that brings up a point: it'd be real nice to have a web page I could point said grad students at. One of these days soon, once the framework settles down a bit, could somebody take the time to write a web page about how to get started writing and contributing regression tests? The Linux kernel has a name for people who do kernel maintenance: Kernel Janitors. Maybe people who contribute test cases to Wine could be Windows Washers? :-) - Dan

Listview Unicodification (take 2 try B :))
by Dimitrie O. Paun 14 Jan '02

14 Jan '02

Hi people, After a few more sleepless nights, I got the listview control close to something I'm willing to submit. The patch is here: http://www.cs.toronto.edu/~dimi/listview-unicode-2.diff Last night I've sent a message to the list (including the patch), but I think it didn't like it because of it's size. Oh well. Testing: the control seems to work fine in the File Chooser, and the Common Control Spy Samples (thanks Francois!). Unfortunately, I could not try Gerard's test cases, as I don't have VC++, and the little program from www.timex.com doesn't seem to wanna run on my box (it complains of an invalid date format in section [Intl] of win.ini even if I can see no date format in there). Gerard, can you try it out, if you don't mind? Comments, suggestions, and/or ideas are welcomed, as always. -- Dimi.

Small test
by Dimitrie O. Paun 14 Jan '02

14 Jan '02

I've sent a message about the ListView control, and I can't see it in the list's archives, nor have I received a copy of it, so I'm afraid something happened to it, and hence this test message. My apologies, Dimi.

Regressions in Curse of Monkey Island again
by Johan Gill 14 Jan '02

14 Jan '02

Sound is pretty stuttering in the intro to Curse of Monkey Island. I've put the last 20000 lines of a dsound trace at ttp://www.lysator.liu.se/~johane/comi.txt. At some occasions, these lines are quite frequent: trace:dsound:DSOUND_MixOne mixlen not worth it, deferring mixing Is that an issue? Could someone tell if the error is in the underlying audio system or in DirectSound itself? /Johan Gill, johane(a)lysator.liu.se

first contribution
by Shane Shields 13 Jan '02

hi all, as my first contribution (implies that there is more to come ;-}) i have found and fixed a (very) minor bug in updown.c but i am at a loss as to what to do next. having read the documentation on cvs commit or cvs diff -u i am still scratching my head in confusion. can somebody give me a newbie type pointer as to what i can do? i have downloaded the latest cvs (todays date 13/1/2002) using cvs update -PAd, altered updown.c, tested that it compiles and am now waiting on fireproof instructions for the next steps (i burn easily :-)).
