The app also works with those patches, but without tracing (sometimes tracing might change an app's behavior). Disclaimer: juno 1.49 is _a_ brain-dead 16 bit comms app, but not the only brain-dead comms app. I can't promise all of them will work. I don't guess all of wine-devel wants the trace.

Including Windows 3.1 and Windows 95? Anyway, I'm not worried primarily about this specific patch, but that any deviation from Windows no matter how "correct" it is in some meaning will make it harder to for example write a test suite for Wine. If no patch exist for say Windows 95 all Windows 95 users will have to make the change in the registry and the test suite on such a platform might not work correctly. Again this is not an argument for not having this patch including but rather a warning that we need to be careful when we have to do this type of changes. Obviously Wine must handle the Euro correctly, regardless what Windows do, otherwise we might get bad press and/or annoyed users.

Hi Sam, This list is for discussing development of Wine, not Windows NT applications. If you have a Windows binary that you want to run in Linux, then get back to us. If you're writing a program to run in Linux, then use termios to solve your problem. If you're writing a program for Windows NT, then your talking to the wrong people.

Reading Line Status Register for Serial Communications on win32
by SAM . Jan. 15, 2002

Jan. 15, 2002

Hi, I am currently trying to write a program to implement a communication protocol using WIN32 APIs on Windows NT 4.0. For this purpose it is required for me to read the parity bit of the Line Status Register when receiving data. The only way I could think of doing this was using by using IOCTL_SERIAL_LSRMST_INSERT code and enabling the LSRMST INSERT mode so that LSR information will be in the data stream read by ReadFile. Unfortunately for some reason this doesnt seem to work according to how it is documented. If anybody has used this function before can you please give me some tips as to what I might be doing wrong??? Also are there any other methods by which I can read the LSR on NT??? Thanks.

Listview Unicodification (take 2 try B :))

Jan. 14, 2002

Hi people, After a few more sleepless nights, I got the listview control close to something I'm willing to submit. The patch is here: http://www.cs.toronto.edu/~dimi/listview-unicode-2.diff Last night I've sent a message to the list (including the patch), but I think it didn't like it because of it's size. Oh well. Testing: the control seems to work fine in the File Chooser, and the Common Control Spy Samples (thanks Francois!). Unfortunately, I could not try Gerard's test cases, as I don't have VC++, and the little program from www.timex.com doesn't seem to wanna run on my box (it complains of an invalid date format in section [Intl] of win.ini even if I can see no date format in there). Gerard, can you try it out, if you don't mind? Comments, suggestions, and/or ideas are welcomed, as always. -- Dimi.

IBM, Notes, Wine and (necessary) version numbers for wine
by rob＠mediasolution.it Jan. 12, 2002

Jan. 12, 2002

Hi there, > One of the better ways to show the potential to IBM would be to find one of > their apps that *does* work under WINE and get it demoed to their > management. Although it sounds like some of them are already (internally) > using Notes under Linux? Let me use your message to speak about a "feature" of the wine developement model that's starting to "annoy" me: using "date-version" instead of a proper version number for the snapshot. I know I'm in no position to get annoyed by anything, since Iìve contributed no code or useful hints so far :-), but I'd really like to see this change. We all know Wine is evolving rather fast, and every 'n' months a major subsystem gets rewritten to be able to implement it the "right" way, windows speaking, or because the old implementation was only partially complete. That's not a problem, since this way wine becomes better and bettter. Where the problem is, however, is that I can't know when these changes, that usually bring forth major breakages in some/many applications, are done. I've been following wine-devel and wine-cvs and, back in June (IIRC) when the windows handling code was changed, I wasn't too surprised when Lotus Notes stopped working (and it's still broken in many ways, window repainting for example). Too bad SuSE people didn't follow the lists, and going from version 7.2 to version 7.3 of their distro, they "upgraded" their wine rpm package from 20010326 to 20010731. With the new version, notes doesn't start at all... I ask: isn't it about time to use version numbers, like in the linux kernel? I now you are working toward "1.0" release, but I guess some 0.6.x (stable) 0.7.x (unstable), 0.8.x (stable again) coudn't hurt, and this kind of versioning give hints to people on where to go and what to download if they want something stable or if they want the "newest". I think it's important to let wine users understand if the package they are about to install is a stable, well tested version, or an extremely new, developemental and untested version. In my opinion, some snapshot (like the April 2001 one) are definitely beta quality, so I think it's useful to let people know this, especially at a time like this when the Lindows people are saying "we fixed wine, going from alfa to release!"... I'd really like to know from which snapshot they started... Ciao, Roberto P.S. I hope to be more useful in future, since I'm starting my own business that will be based rather heavily on Linux, and this way I hope I'll be able to search and destroy the most annoying bugs I find.. :-)

Re: The most likely way to get IBM to sponsor WINE development
by dschwarz＠bellatlantic.net Jan. 12, 2002

Jan. 12, 2002

I've been following this discussion with some interest. I am a former Iris/Lotus/IBM employee, and I now run the Winecentric pages www.winecentric.com, basically a faq on how to run Lotus Notes and other programs under WINE. I have had unofficial conversations with Lotus product development managers; they have reacted to customer requests for the Lotus Notes client on Linux by doing their own testing, and they even publish an official page outlining how to run Lotus Notes with WINE. They don't offer customer support (that would cost millions). The best way to get IBM to sponsor WINE development is to persuade them to port their flagship applications to Linux. IBM/Lotus have a long history of using API translators to port products across platforms, including Lotus Notes and SmartSuite. If they were persuaded to port, say, VisualAge for Java and SmartSuite, using Winelib, we'd gain some new applications plus (hopefully) IBM would contribute any Winelib enhancements back. Just my 2 cents... Dan Schwarz help(a)winecentric.com

Bad File Creation
by Guy L. Albertelli Jan. 12, 2002

Jan. 12, 2002

In attempting to play with Outlook Express 5 under Wine, I find that the files created by OE are bad/damaged. The attachments are as follows: hoho.gif - view under Linux shows Folders.dbx as 75,204 hoho-win.gif - view under Windows shows Folders.dbx as 74K (pretty good). scandisk.gif - error message from scandisk under windows. hoho-win-after.gif - view under Windows shows Folders.dbx as 60K after repair. hoho.txt - selected pieces of the trace from Wine during the creation of Folders.dbx. Revisiting it under Linux shows the size is now 61,440. The Linux is RH 6.1 and the kernel is 2.2.12-20. This is the only file that this problem occurs on (not true, it also occurs on Inbox.dbx in the same folder). No other file that I create under Linux is damaged. I suspect that this may be due to Wine implementation of the call sequence of: GetFileSize(..) SetFilePointer(..) SetEndOfFile(..) Any comments or suggestions?

Re: How about sponsoring from IBM?
by David.Goodenough＠DGA.co.uk Jan. 11, 2002

Jan. 11, 2002

I would suggest that one of the things that would help would be for IBM development labs which are developing Windows code, such as the Lotus labs, to test their code under WINE as well as Windows, and if it does not work to report any problems they find with APIs to the WINE community, perhaps even with fixes as they can see what WINE is doing with their requests. Without the source code and the understanding of what they expect to happen it is difficult for WINE developers to work out why any app does not work (although the tracing gives many clues). This way WINE users get apps that work and the developers get good feedback. Roland <roland(a)netquant.

Of course we are assuming that a full-featured WINE would DRASTICALLY increase the success of Linux.

ADPCM and Wine
by David D. Hagood Jan. 11, 2002

Jan. 11, 2002

Is anybody working on support for playing ADPCM wave files under Wine? If not, I'd like to take a crack at it. I have an app that I use (Delorme's AAA MapNGo 4.0) that uses ADPCM wave files to contain spoken information on attractions. I know that Wine can access my sound system to play normal PCM wave files, as MN4 also has speech synthesis that does work. However, any attempt to play a ADPCM file results in the program pausing for a length of time, then continuing. I infer that this is because the lower levels of Wine don't know how to handle ADPCM. ADPCM isn't rocket science - several programs, including sox, understand the protocol. So, is anybody working on this (outside of TG and Lindows)? Any (non-null) pointers to useful information on how Wine has put together the sound subsystem? I'm not a Windows programmer, I'm an embedded systems and DSP person, but if I can find a block of code to hook into I can make this happen.

Hi Martin, I haven't tried the patch yet, but from Lawson's trace it looks like the completion routine for ReadFileEx is not being called. Some notes: * the 16bit Comm code expects ReadFileEx to be unconditionally overlapped, and always call the completion function when the operation completes. * the completion function starts another ReadFileEx, and sends a WM_COMMNOTIFY message to the 16bit app. i had a look at you patch, but i haven't applied it yet, so it's difficult for me to see any problems... i'll have a go later today.

Well, the ADPCM codec is not implemented in MSACM32 so it really can't work, can it? Anyway seeing the debug output can't hurt either.

I suggest you talk to Eric Pouech <eric.pouech(a)wanadoo.fr>. He was active on the patch list yesterday so I suppose he will see this and reply. In the mean time I can tell you that the PCM support is in wine/dlls/mcacm and ADPCM support should be there as well. There is a file pcmconverter.c that implements PCM support so I suppose that there should be a adpcmconverter.c file to plug in the ADPCM support. There will probably need to be a few changes in other files as well. Anyway Eric understands this better than I do. Let's wait and see what he has to say.
