Old PROGMAN DDE service for creating icons?
by Dan Kegel 21 Jan '03

21 Jan '03

Hey folks, I looked around on google for some discussion of this, but didn't find anything. What's the current thinking on making Wine able to handle the DDE messages that old windows 3.1 apps used to use to install program icons? In Microsoft Windows 3.1, this was handled by Progman.exe. In win95 and later, I think it's handled by Explorer.exe. Should I perhaps add a DDE server to the placeholder implementation of explorer I submitted last week? For what it's worth, I looked around for an example of a DDE server written in C, and found one written in 1992: http://www.the-oasis.net/thereef/files/c/ddeml.zip (possibly written by bob.hartman(a)esoft.com, it's hard to tell). That should come in handy as example source if we decide to do this. - Dan -- Dan Kegel http://www.kegel.com http://counter.li.org/cgi-bin/runscript/display-person.cgi?user=78045

Hallo, on http://www.vnunet.com/News/1138118 Suse's Dan Homolka is cited with: > Dan Homolka, technical sales manager at SuSE, claimed that the vendor's > Linux environment actually runs Microsoft Office faster than Windows "mainly > because Linux is much better at context-switching". Suse Window support is based on Codeweavers Cross Office. Does this stand a real world test?

The first trace is running on XP on some other machine; it does create ms-setup.t/RBHEAP.DLL properly. The second trace is running on Wine; it does not create that file at all, from what I can see. - Dan -- Dan Kegel http://www.kegel.com http://counter.li.org/cgi-bin/runscript/display-person.cgi?user=78045

fonts go south halfway through OpenOffice1.0.2 install
by Dan Kegel 21 Jan '03

21 Jan '03

I tried installing OpenOffice1.0.2 under Wine today. It started out nicely, but somewhere in the middle, all the fonts got screwed up such that all characters were replaced with boxes. For what it's worth, there are quite a few fixme's. I had to kill Wine to abort the installation. - Dan -- Dan Kegel http://www.kegel.com http://counter.li.org/cgi-bin/runscript/display-person.cgi?user=78045
