I quess *something* should be done. I was (and still is) a newbie to wine source, so I solved this (wanted to be able to play wzebra ;-) out this way. I needed only to change file.c and a few prototypes on smb.h. I wish somebody (maybe you?) who knows more and has more time could take this job... I think the main problem is (btw.. for most applications, there is no problem..) that unix files are opened and closed for every, even small ReadFile(). Doesn't it flush all buffers?

Doesn't work between Linux and a Windows machine (Linuz client sends messages locally, client on Windows machine returns exception) but I guess that's because of the transport limitation? David

Maybe once I finish the current wave of work on rpcss (soon, I think) I will take a look at this. It might be a little more of a challenge for me since I don't know a thing about X11 coding... but then again I didn't know much about RPC until I started diving into it, and since I hear it's a bit of a challenge, the prospect of learning X11 coding appeals to me anyhow. > Once again, it seems like a huge code drop waiting > for someone to split it up.

The only thing that gives me pause is that the RPC stuff is far from finished and I would like to keep some forward momentum in that department as well... but who says I can't multitask? I'd certainly be glad to take a look at it. -- gmt "War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things; the decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse.

Wine 0.9 Supported Application List
by Dimitrie O. Paun Nov. 13, 2002

Nov. 13, 2002

Folks, Here are the lists, formatted in HTML, which Carlos sent out some time ago: http://www.dssd.ca/wine/Wine-SAL.html Mozilla/Netscape seems to have problems with the colors, but Konqy works fine... Help with formatting appreciated. I guess the tasks here are: 1. Identify more Gold apps 2. Fix Silver apps so they can move up to Gold Comments, suggestions, flames? -- Dimi.

WinZip
by Mike Hearn Nov. 13, 2002

Nov. 13, 2002

OK, I remembered reading about how WinZip was nearly Gold but not quite. There was a problem with the richedit control. If I install the richedit control into Crossover 1.3.1 from here http://www.allerasoft.com/download/ I can view comments in WinZip OK. Unfortunately if I do this (try with the example zip file in the winzip directory) it crashes on exit. I might try some proper traces this afternoon, but is there a reason Wine can't mirror the richedit update program and install it a la DCOM? -- Mike Hearn <m.hearn(a)signal.qinetiq.com> QinetiQ

I'd suggest moving the computer name stuff out of allocate_default_keys() and into an internal function in computername.c, that would be called during kernel init. This will also avoid handling the same configuration option in two different dlls. -- Alexandre Julliard julliard(a)winehq.com

TODO & FAQ moved
by Dimitrie O. Paun Nov. 12, 2002

Nov. 12, 2002

Hi all, Please note that the FAQ, and the TODO got moved to a new location: http://www.dssd.ca/wine/Wine-0.9-TODO.html http://www.dssd.ca/wine/Wine-FAQ.html The old location still works for your convenience, but it will go away (probably soon). Hope this doesn't inconvenience anyone too much. -- Dimi.

The $(addsuffix) etc. make macros are not portable, please avoid them. Also I don't think we need all these targets, the current html/ps/pdf distinction is enough IMO. I do agree that building the books separately is a good idea, in fact this should probably be made the normal behavior; I doubt many people want to read the complete docs in one piece... -- Alexandre Julliard julliard(a)winehq.com
