Hey all, introducing myself and my GSoC idea...

by a a

My name is Alex. I'm an 18 year old Freshman at the University of South Florida. I'm an electrical engineer, but I've been coding since I was 13. I love low-level stuff, like assembly and ugly C, machine code, etc. I like to be able to smell the processor I'm so close to the metal. I made a proposal on GSoC to improve support for the Native API, an undocumented API in Windows. I'd really like to code for the Wine Project, since I like Windows, I like Linux, and I especially like low-level scrounging. I'm usually available by MSN, and generally fairly friendly. Send me an IM, or reply here to critique my proposal. It's entitled " Proposal to improve Wine's support of the Native API". I'm registered as cholinesterase(a)gmail.com. Will someone look it over and tell me what they think? Also, suggested reading would be nice, especially if it pertains to the project idea and Wine's code base! Thanks for reading.

I just pushed some primarily unicode based case mapping code implemented with help of http://www.icu-project.org/ to the git repository. I am not yet sure whether the transformation works as i think it should, but at least it translates some german umlauts correctly. On Debian system the required package is called libicu-dev.

It's alive! @all sorry folks 'bout the "can't-be-done" from days past; It can and has been done! A big thank you for Steven, you're my hero! Now, to get on with the executables :D

Ok, I'll remove the last error tests where they don't matter then once I clean up my git tree a little, there's too much stuff lying around at the moment. :-) Cheers, Maarten.

re: News about iPod Sync and iTunes?

by Dan Kegel

wine-0.9.59 might be able to sync old-style iPods, but iPod Touch / iPhone is a horse of a different color because it acts like a usb device rather than a mass storage device. It'll be a long time before we support this.

If anyone knows something about this they will reply in their own time. Spamming the list doesn't help.
