[Version] in ~/.wine/config

Any reason why we don't default the windows version to something recent like Win2K and let the user change this to an older version if necessary? Chris

So long, and thanks for all the fish!

Hello All, Unfortunately I need to stop most of my work on Wine. This is due to family demands and also that it is not fun anymore. I would recommend that Dimitrie Paun to take over the Common Controls. He has done a great deal of work on them and deserves the honor. I may continue to "lurk" on the lists but do not forsee any activity. Good luck all, and thanks for the friendship. Guy Albertelli <<galberte(a)neo.lrun.com>>

Fix: Anti-aliasing for font sizes >8
by Dag Wieers 01 Oct '02

01 Oct '02

Hi, I noticed recently that Wine was able to do anti-aliasing for font sizes >16 although my Gnome 2 looked nice with anti-aliasing of <16. I started to look why Wine apps were only anti-aliased for >16, and I came across this: --- dlls/x11drv/xrender.c.orig 2002-09-29 12:56:27.000000000 +0200 +++ dlls/x11drv/xrender.c 2002-09-29 12:56:56.000000000 +0200 @@ -322,7 +322,7 @@ assert(entry->nrealized == 0); - if(antialias && abs(plfsz->lf.lfHeight * plfsz->xform.eM22) > 16) { + if(antialias && abs(plfsz->lf.lfHeight * plfsz->xform.eM22) > 8) { pf.depth = 8; pf.direct.alphaMask = 0xff; } else { When I changed this, my Notes was much nicer to work with. I presume there is a reason why anti-aliasing was off, but I would reconsider that decision.

Re: patch to MZ_Exec() PE executables
by Jukka Heinonen 01 Oct '02

> Look reasonable? No. Command tail is not null terminated so you cannot use strlen. DOS exec function "load and exec" is synchronous so you should return to caller only after created process has finished. In addition to hFile lead found by Ove Kaaven, you are leaking handles in PROCESS_INFORMATION. Using fixed size buffer for full command line without sanity checks is a bad idea and will cause problems sooner or later. And, finally, you are ignoring long command lines from DOS program stored in CMDLINE environment variable. (I have already exchanged private email with Chris Morgan about this; DOS programs can be passed command tails longer than 126 characters using CMDLINE environment variable. Similarly, DOS programs may pass long command lines to programs they execute.) -- Jukka Heinonen <http://www.iki.fi/jhei/>

include/cursoricon.h
by Michael Stefaniuc 30 Sep '02

30 Sep '02

Hello, the conversion of HICON to void* seems to be a hard one ... while trying to do that i found that msdn dosn't know anything about include/cursoricon.h, it seems to be an internal header and therefor should go to dlls/user/ or at least to include/wine. I could do a patch for that. An other question: in windows/cursoricon.c there are some internal functions, that are using a HGLOBAL for a HICON or HCURSOR. I would change that to HICON because HCURSOR is compatible to HICON and HGLOBAL seems too generic (HGLOBAL is a HANDLE and thus wont catch any handle conflicts). bye michael -- Michael Stefaniuc Tel.: +49-711-96437-199 System Administration Fax.: +49-711-96437-111 Red Hat GmbH Email: mstefani(a)redhat.com Hauptstaetterstr. 58 http://www.redhat.de/ D-70178 Stuttgart

Re: support for starting wine as an interpreter by kernel (execve)

If you are doing the kernel part too, why don't you pass the interpreter as argv[0]? That's the way binfmt_misc does it under Linux, and it's a lot more useful since you can use anything you want as interpreter, you are not limited to specially modified apps. -- Alexandre Julliard julliard(a)winehq.com

Lotus Notes 5.0 Installation problem
by Boris 30 Sep '02

30 Sep '02

I have downloaded the latest CVS today and compiled it and tried installing the Lotus Notes 5.0 Client part only. The installation got further then last time I checked [Their used to be a problem that when I ran install, the parent window didnt show up so it looked like an empty screen indefinately] but now when I run nlnotes.exe, It asks me to setup for the first time and it says that I have successfully installed lotus notes and then it asks me to select which Time Zone I am in but theirs *nothing* that I can select. I dont see any time zones? Any ideas why their arent any timezones and does that have to be added to Wine?

just for your info

Found here: http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/library/l-ivit.html?n-l-9262 the following: W: But the trade-off is that you break backward compatibility to get there. Mosberger: From a technical point of view, it's clearly what you want to do, and it's not quite correct to say it's breaking backward compatibility. Itanium is as backward compatible as anything else out there. The performance of x86 code isn't all that great, but quite frankly I use it every day to do Acrobat, Open Office, RealPlayer, those kinds of things. I think that point is overstated, especially for Linux, because all of the important open source software has been ported to 64-bit and recompiled native for IA-64, so the only things you need to run in emulation mode are those proprietary apps that, for whatever reasons, you can't get natively. And for those, it's just fine. Last week, I ran TaxCut under WINE on an IA-64 Linux machine and it worked fine -- even performance-wise.

>Objet : Add support for CCSelect sound Hi Guy, I wonder if a call to WCHAR name[] = { 'C','C','S','e','l','e','c','t','\\','.','c','u','r','r','e','n','t',0}; PlaySound(name, 0, SND_ALIAS|SND_ASYNC); wouldn't do the trick (didn't check it, but it's very likely it's gonna work). I can't test it (I'm away from my home PC will all my wine env) A+
