There are some new type of socket, present since 2.6.4 kernel described in unix(7) manual page - SOC_SEQPACKET, which is both connection-oriented and preserves message bounderies. Will it work for that purpose?

We have to get the same *result*, but that doesn't mean we have to have the same *code*. 'extern "C"' on a non-member non-function global is perfectly meaningless to most C++ compilers. As far as I am aware, only MSVC++ mangles global variables. The 'extern "C"' is thus there to deal with a broken feature of the MSVC++ compiler, and is not applicable here unless somebody wants to compile C++ for Winelib using MSVC++ without the PSDK - something which I suspect would have many more obstacles in its path than just this. Unless there is a functional reason for doing exactly what is done in the PSDK we should actually avoid, as far as possible, doing so. We walk a fine line as it is on copyright law. Copying form that is not dictated by function takes us into more dangerous territory (see Feist Publications v Rural Telephone Service). -- troy(a)rollo.com - Sydney, Australia

Wine 20050830, Notes 6.51 and uxtheme.dll.so

by Kevin DeKorte

I installed Wine 20050830 this morning and got it working with Notes after fixing a problem with usp10.dll. I was then using Notes and I selected an attachment and right clicked and selected Save. The notes crash handler then took over and Notes shut down. The crash handler reported and error in uxtheme.dll, but did not give me a trace back to send in. I'm guessing it is a missing function in uxtheme for the standard "save" dialog box. Reverting back to Wine 20050725 solves this issue.

Problems with winecfg and theming

by Paul Vriens

Hi, I'm not able to use winecfg and theming. If I select to add a theme I get an exception after selecting the file and clicking OK. the .msstyles files seems to have been copied to the right place. When I however start winecfg again and go to the Appearance tab I get a new exception. Remove everything under Resources/Themes 'fixes' this so there must be something wrong with the enumeration. Anybody else experiencing this? Paul.
