WINE flag

[KK singh]

hi,

I have a win32 application that plays some hashing
tricks with HWND while running on win98 and uses the
fact that on win98 HWND is always 16bit. 

This application is crashing on wine configured as
win98 because HWND is something bigger than 16bit on
wine. 

Now Can I Check from inside my application code,
whether the application is running on linux or win98
If yes then I might be able to avoid those hashing
tricks and solve the crash

Regards
kks

Why can't you just avoid the hashing tricks entirely? That sounds like
it might break on W2K/XP as well.

First question:
- Can we change Wine behaviour with regard to the HWND handling? That
  would be best in m.h.O.
- If not, check for the wine specific DLL entries e.g. in ntdll

Hope this helps

I think the last time the subject came up, the consensus was that the 
existance of HKLM/Programs/Wine is the best way to check whether you are 
running on Wine.

A different matter (and one which I am not qualified to attest to) is 
whether it is smart for wine to be 100% win98 compatible in that regard, 
and whether it is smart on your program's side to do those tricks.

Hope this helps.
