First of all I want to thank the community for the efforts spent in developing wine. It's simple a cool "tool" (sorry, it's more, I know). Now my problem: I installed wine-20020411 without having a native windows installation. I installed successfully a simulator software which obviously uses a tcl/tk-GUI to invoke other program moduls (compiler, library manager, simulator core) re-directing their stdin/stdout to the console window via pipes. It does not work for me and I get the message (infinitivly repeated): fixme:win32:PeekNamedPipe (00000080, (nil), 00000000, (nil), 0x406a2194, (nil)): stub Searchin the web I got no hit. Questions: (1) Can I avoid this by using a native windows-dll? If yes, which dll I have to install (but I assume it is a kernel-dll function and so it is not possible)? (2) I have no Windows programming background, but what do you think: Should I dare to implement this function or was it left open because of a tricky windows-API-Linux mapping problem? (3) Any other ideas? Thanks, Michael --
