Attn Christian - Last texops patch
by Ann and Jason Edmeades 20 Jun '04

20 Jun '04

Hi Christian - I tried to sent you an email but it bounced... Are you sure that patch is correct (I've only glanced at it though!), as I thought the src1 was set from GetSrvcAndOpFromValue, and this should already handle the ONE_MINUS* type values? Jason

Lotus SmartSuite '97 nonfunctional
by Dan Kegel 19 Jun '04

19 Jun '04

In the same yard sale where I bought Lotus SmartSuite '96 (whose Lotus 1-2-3 works under wine-20040615), I also bought the '97 version. I had numerous problems with the '97 version. Its installer failed while installing Word Pro (though it seemed to install Lotus 1-2-3). Lotus 1-2-3 fails with numerous errors when loading a small file or even starting without any file. Something (maybe heavier use of OLE?) changed from the '96 to '97 versions such that Wine is much less happy running the '97 version. If anyone's interested, I can post more details. - Dan -- My technical stuff: http://kegel.com My politics: see http://www.misleader.org for examples of why I'm for regime change

OK, but in the mean time I still don't see how one binary can fit all needs, if a binary build for X.org wo'nt run on XFree86 and vice-versa > I don't see why it'd slow down after we freeze libwine, it's not that > many functions...

You'll have to translate it with google or something because it's in Italian.

About building one binary of wine for all distros, it's interesting to notice that one the same distro you need different binaries depending on if you're using xfree86 or x.org. Ivan.

I presume by then wine won't change so quickly.

Actually, yes it is. Go read the docs on autopackage.org to find out how. > would be somewhat suboptimal as we sacrifice speed for flexibility and distro neutrality. Do we NEED to sacrifice such things? Also we can't use it until version 1.0, it will be reasonable to look at this then. Ivan.
