Winword, StorageImpl_Commit, Crossover and Wine

[Uwe Bonnes]

Hallo,

running MS Word 2000 with builtin dlls doesn't allow to write files, because
of at least StorageImpl_Commit and WriteFmtUserTypeStg  still stubs? Does
Crosover Office still require the native OLE dlls or has it some
implementation? 

Bye

Hi Uwe,

I have implemented WriteFmtUserTypeStg and ReadFmtUserTypeStg in 
Crossover's Wine... I'm trying to gradually ween us off native DLLs. 
Alexandre should start merging shortly...

I might as well point out that StorageImpl_Commit is a NOP for direct
mode storage objects. Wine doesn't implement transacted mode, which
seems to be a basic optimization, so we can ignore this stub for now, I
don't think it's important.

Hi Mike,

Yeah, I think Windows implements transacted mode by doing something like 
this:

open or commit:
    mv x x.old
    cp x.old x

close, no commit:
    mv x.old x

I haven't tried to implement that yet, but it shouldn't be too difficult.
