Press: medical records software works with Wine
by Brian Vincent 05 Apr '05

05 Apr '05

Here's an interesting story about some medical software that works with Wine and CrossOver Office: http://www.linuxmednews.com/linuxmednews/1112336432/index_html quote: "He finally succeeded in running the CPRS client on Linux with only a few problems. Previous releases of WINE could not run the client at all, but last fall things started to improve when William Wong, a colleague from Malaysia's PCDOM organization, was able to launch CPRS for the first time using WINE. According to Joseph Dal Molin: 'Something changed under the covers of WINE that made it possible. A few releases ago, this did not work. Now it does.' scary statistic: " As many as 98,000 people die each year as a result of preventable medical errors" -Brian

Wayne and twin
by Brouard Nicolas 05 Apr '05

05 Apr '05

Hi, I haven't seen recent information on wine and twain. I already sent a similar mail to wine-users and, in a second step to wine-devel, but without any information back until now. May be the trick "Wine and twain" to "Wayne and twin" will give me more chance to be listen. Or may be my question is really stupid? >From a recent mail that I got, the problem is of interest for at least another people too. To be honest, she was at an earlier stage of installing Fine Reader and nothing came up for her wine installation. My problem is accessing the scanner from Fine Reader. I am not a specialist of Wine and simply use Winetools basic installation to install my fake drive, and then use standard wine to install all my Windows programs, including Noteworthy Composer recently (with timidity as midi synthesiser as reported on apps-db) and Fine Reader. Here is the question: I am trying to test a Finereader Office (version 5) with an USB scanner. Everything seems working. But I get scanner not ready when searching for scanner. Sane, gimp or whatever program using sane are working well with my scanner. Doing WINEDEBUG=+loaddll wine finereader.exe I get: ... trace:loaddll:load_dll Loaded module L"C:\\program files\\abbyy finereader 5.0 office\\scan\\scanman0.dll" : native trace:loaddll:load_dll Loaded module L"c:\\windows\\system\ \msvcrt.dll" : builtin trace:loaddll:MODULE_FlushModrefs Unloaded module L"c:\\windows\\system\ \msvcrt.dll" : builtin err:module:load_builtin_dll loaded .so for L"Twain.dll" but got L"twain_32.dll" instead - probably 16-bit dll trace:loaddll:MODULE_LoadModule16 Loaded module "c:\\windows\ \Twain.dll" : builtin Scanning driver not ready. But the scanner is ready: # sane-find-scanner -v searching for USB scanners: checking /dev/usb/scanner... failed to open (Invalid argument) checking /dev/usb/scanner0... failed to open (Invalid argument) ... checking /dev/usbscanner15... failed to open (Invalid argument) found USB scanner (vendor=0x03f0 [hp], product=0xb402 [photosmart 7700 series]) at libusb:002:002 found USB scanner (vendor=0x04b8 [EPSON], product=0x010f [EPSON Scanner 010F], chip=LM9832/3) at libusb:001:003 # scanimage -L device `plustek:libusb:001:003' is a Epson Perfection 1250/Photo USB flatbed scanner device `net:localhost:plustek:libusb:001:003' is a Epson Perfection 1250/Photo USB flatbed scanner Thus the device is something like "plustek:libusb:001:003" and # scanimage -d plustek:libusb:001:003 >foo.pnm works. Is there any wine test (windows exe) in order to test twain? What can I do to go further Regards, Nicolas -- Brouard Nicolas <nicolas.brouard(a)libertysurf.fr>

redirecting text to standard out
by Raphael Clifford 05 Apr '05

05 Apr '05

Hi, I am running a windows app under wine that prints text to the screen. This can be copied and pasted into wine's notepad. Is there any way to get wine to simply output all text written by the app to standard out? This would save me a lot of hassle :) I don't mind if it outputs far too much (text from buttons etc) as I am planning on filtering the information in any case. It has been suggested to me to edit TextOut (or ExtTextOut) in dlls/gdi somewhere and simply add a printf. I had a look but this is the first time I have ever looked at wine source and I am completely baffled. Any help is very much appreciated. Cheers, Raphael

Should all A functions forward to their respective W's?
by James Hawkins 05 Apr '05

05 Apr '05

Hi, In the current state of wine, we have several A/W functions. Sometimes both the A and W functions are separately implemented with an ansi and unicode implementation respectively. Other A/W functions have the A forward to the W, converting the ansi to unicode. For all the functions that can, should we forward all A to their W counterparts? When it comes to the conformance test suite, this would be ideal. Only the A functions would have to be tested and in doing so, we test the A/W conversion and the functionality of the W functions (we're striving for all-unicode internally anyway). This would reduce the number of bugs, and the time it takes to fix current bugs. When both A and W are implemented and we find a bug in one of them, we have to remember to fix the same bug in the other function. For most of the functions, converting ansi to unicode is boilerplate code. This process could even be a janitorial project. What do you think? -- James Hawkins

PGP signing party
by Shachar Shemesh 05 Apr '05

05 Apr '05

Last year's raving success (I exchanged keys with Marcus) gives appetite for more. So, if you always wanted to have a PGP key that most of the free software will know [1]. If you wanted to be able to carry out encrypted secure conversations online. Or if you just want a chance to brag about what well connected key you have [2]. We will (try) to hold a PGP key signing party at wineconf this year. In order to participate, it is positively absolutely necessary that you: 1. Have a PGP key. You can generate one for yourself using gpg. 2. Send the PGP key finger print to me AT LEAST A WEEK BEFORE THE CONFERENCE. Any later then that, and it is not certain that we'll manage to get your key on the printed piece of paper that is necessary for carrying out the party. 3. Bring a copy you can trust to wineconf, to make sure other people are really signing your key (i.e. - that I'm not pulling anybody's leg). 4. Bring an identifying ID to wineconf. Two is preferable. Passport or a driver license in a language people can read. If you can only bring one, a passport is definitely preferable. The full details of what a key signing party is, why are the procedures as they are, and what's so important about *not* signing the keys with your laptop at the party can be found at http://www.cryptnet.net/fdp/crypto/gpg-party.html Note: No aliases on PGP keys. If your PGP key says "lord master of compiler optimization", then your passport had better say the same or no one will be able to sign your key. Shachar [1] My key is signed by RMS himself (http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?op=vindex&search=0xCDBDBCE2) This means that any key that I sign is just two keys away from the very inventor of free software.

I am not trying to _load_ a Windows driver (that either requires kernel support for the Windows DDK, like ndiswrapper has, or emulation of an entire x86, like bochs does). What I am trying to do is _replace_ a Windows driver with equivalent libusb functionality, getting, in effect, something like this: Application (eg. the Gimp) | v special SANE backend | v SANE to TWAIN converter | v Windows user-space TWAIN driver (by manufacturer) | v STI | v Wine (with "drivers") | v Wine (user-space) driver | v libusb | v kernel > Mike Damjan __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

You need to make a copy of all palette entries anyway. Perhaps the following code is a better solution: colors = GetPaletteEntries(hpal, 0, 0, NULL); pal_ents = HeapAlloc(GetProcessHeap(), 0, colors * sizeof(*pal_ents)); colors = GetPaletteEntries(hpal, 0, colors, pal_ents); for(i = 0; i < colors; i++, index++) { ... } HeapFree(GetProcessHeap(), 0, pal_ents); -- Dmitry.
