STATUS_INVALID_EXECUTABLE_IMAGE should have read: STATUS_INVALID_IMAGE_FORMAT and I'm told that the value is 0xC000007B. Cheers, David

The 2 traces are showing the same problem : the 2 versions of your app are trying to loadlibrary on the Wineps driver. This is not working in both cases. The difference comes from the app itself : QB4 is proceding anyway to a call to CreateDC (that's the usual way of printing after all) and this call succeeds - because Wine has been coded for this case- , while QB5 don't want to continue. My impression is that QB5 is a more sophisticate application that is actually *testing* the errors returned by the system. Unfortunately, that is also breaking its capability of printing under Wine. I am not sure why this LoadLibrary fails (it returns 2, file not found). I have done a quick and dirty LoadLibrary("WINEPS.DRV") in a winelib application : it fails. LoadLibrary("WINEPS.DLL") succeeds. So this is the problem it seems. LoadLibrary should be tweaked. I think that the code to patch is in library/loader.c, line 96 /* check for .dll or .exe extension to remove */ if (ext && (!strcmp( ext, ".dll" ) || !strcmp( ext, ".exe" ))) p = ext After the name problem is solved, the following problem is probably loading a 32 bits builtin library from 16 bits code. I don't remember clearly now (it's past 2 am for me) but the problem has already occured for other dlls. I think it was you who asked about the difference between 16 and 32 bits code; while you got a correct answer, there is also a first glance trick, useful when in one application you have transitions between 16 and 32 bits code : the 16 bits calls to the Api are shown in uppercase, the 32 bits are in lowercase.

TrueType font metrics for PostScript driver
by Ian Pilcher 30 Apr '01

30 Apr '01

And the verdict is . . . Everyone seems to feel that using FreeType 2.x directly from the Post- Script driver is the right thing to do, so that's what I'll do. This does mean that I'm going to have to learn autoconf, so expect some stupid questions on that subject. -- ======================================================================== Ian Pilcher ian.pilcher(a)home.com ========================================================================

msvcrt error
by Chris Morgan 30 Apr '01

30 Apr '01

I'm getting this error: Could not stat /mnt/fd0 (No such file or directory), ignoring drive A: err:win32:PE_FindExportedFunction function not found for forward 'ntdll._iswctype' used by 'msvcrt.dll'. If you are using builtin 'msvcrt.dll', try using the native one instead. err:win32:fixup_imports No implementation for MSVCRT.dll.636(iswctype) imported from C:\program files\notepad.exe, setting to 0xdeadbeef ~/program files$ when running notepad.exe using builtin msvcrt.dll. Any ideas on what might be causing this? Thanks, Chris

You can have an autoconf check and #ifdef the code out if possible. We will have to use FreeType at some point anyway, so we might as well start now. Besides it seems it will be easier to use if everything is built-in instead of having to run a separate tool. -- Alexandre Julliard julliard(a)winehq.com

But doesn't your solution also require FreeType anyway? Linking it into Wine or into a separate program is not really different for the user, he still needs to install it. -- Alexandre Julliard julliard(a)winehq.com

Umm, use autoconf checks and fall back methods, also for ft1 vs ft2 checks. Ciao, Marcus

STATUS_* codes
by David Howells 30 Apr '01

30 Apr '01

Can someone pin numbers on the following codes: STATUS_FILE_IS_A_DIRECTORY STATUS_INVALID_EXECUTABLE_IMAGE At least I think that's what they're called (unfortunately, my book's at home where I can't check it). They're listed in my NT native API book (though that's no guarantee that they exist), but not in the Wine header files, and I don't have a copy of the DDK installed on top of MSDEV. David

edit control problem
by Mike McCormack 30 Apr '01

30 Apr '01

Hi, Wine-20010418 seems to have a (serious) problem in the edit control. The problem occurs when i press the backspace key, and there is text after the cursor. (eg. when i am writing a reply to an email on my web-based email). Text following the cursor is not draw correctly... it appears that there are many characters missing at the beginning of the line, but the text is only drawn correctly. Perhaps one of the recent optimizations of the edit control missed something?? i don't know if this is fixed in the latest CVS... but the problem didn't exist in previous wine releases.

TrueType font metrics for PostScript driver
by Ian Pilcher 30 Apr '01

30 Apr '01

In order to Unicode-enable the PostScript driver, it needs information about about font encodings that isn't present in Adobe's AFM file format (glyph names for character encodings greater than 256). For Type 1 fonts with a standard encoding, the driver can use the encoding in the Adobe Glyph List. (There's no other choice.) TrueType font designers, however, seem to regard glyph naming as an opportunity to express their creativity. Besides, the information is present in the TrueType font files, so the driver might as well use it. The driver could read this information directly from the font files, but this would make Wine dependant on the FreeType libraries, and that doesn't strike me as a wonderful idea. Instead, I have cobbled together a small program which reads a TrueType font file and creates a "TrueType Font Metrics" file, which is very similar to an AFM file. (This program does use the FreeType library.) Anyone have any objections to using this approach as a interim measure? -- ======================================================================== Ian Pilcher ian.pilcher(a)home.com ========================================================================
