Before doing so, though, I just want to check what that means. I presume that this means moving the "Getting Wine Source code from CVS" section. I wonder if that is exactly what we want. Are we trying to avoid scaring beginners and non-programmers? If we basically mean that the user Guide will not talk about getting the source and compiling it on your own machine then we might as well also move "Getting Wine Source Code from the FTP archive" and "Upgrading Wine with a patch" If we basically mean that we suggest that the user be able to build from source but only from the FTP archive versions then do we really need the "Upgrading Wine with a patch" If we support the user being able to build from source but don't want to scare them then all we need to do is drop the talk about changing the code and diffing (and maybe adding a little more hand-holding to the cvs section a la dummies guide). Also if we go towards the "build from source" we are going to have to address little issues like the tendency not to install the compiler these days. My suggestion is that, since we are talking about fairly stable releases, we ought to move all the sections concerned with building from source. Guidance please. Bill

Re: Wine FAQ - call for a volunteer

Just one tip: Why not use a wiki-Engine to creaate/maintain a faq, like e.g. www.squirrelmail.net does? I recommend phpwiki (http://phpwiki.sourceforge.net/) This way users can maintain the faq and it is most up to date! Greetings Ulf

Sure, I know that (I'm working on DPMI32 which isn't for standard mode Windows programs), I was probably being a bit unclear about what I was wondering about. It is quite difficult to find any information about Win32s nowadays and everything I have found was suggesting that Win32s was for running Win32 applications on Win16. Since Wine does run Win32 applications directly it just made me wonder whether Win32s support is something that was once needed when Wine only had Win16 support. But, since I know very little about Win32s, I can only wonder. It all depends on how Win32s applications differ from Win32 and Win16 applications. The existence of Win32s dlls seems to suggest that Win32s applications are not regular Win32 applications as well as the text in "msdos/vxd.c" which talks about some strange pointer mangling required with Win32s applications. This mangling is probably something that is only required if Wine supports official Win32s dlls. Which makes me wonder if Win32s dlls provided by Wine actually do work because they don't seem to do any pointer mangling. Well, it could be that Win32s applications do this pointer mangling internally. Anyway, I seem to have answered myself. If Wine is going to support Win32s applications using both builtin and official Win32s dlls, it needs pointer mangling. I just have to figure out how the required offset can be accessed from multiple dlls because I would really like to have all the interrupt handlers in one place. I still think that all the tricks required in order to support official Win32s dlls are quite ugly: all the routines that use linear addresses and are called directly by Win32s applications need to do pointer mangling and msdos/vxd.c actually modifies the official dlls in order to work around some problems. But since this most likely works already, I don't think I want to change anything. -- Jukka Heinonen <http://www.iki.fi/jhei/>
