"Written by" or "maintained by"? I thought Frank wrote it in the beginning... > > You can download WineTools here: http://www.von-thadden.de/Joachim/WineTools/ Some of the config files included in the "wt210jo" release look somewhat out of date. The definition of drives in config has been dropped since a couple of months, as well as the definition for the System, Temp, Path and Profile environment variables, the ShellLinker key, the Resolution key (in [fonts]), the serial and parallel ports keys, the {Load,Write}HomeRegistryFiles keys, the WineLook key, and the ClearAllSelections and PersistentSelection keys (in [Clipboard]). Some of it is now handled in the registry, some in the .wine/dosdevices dir. Providing outdated stuff doesn't help Wine or it's users. Work on Wine or winecfg (for easier configuration) would be preferred (I know this is Free Software, so you work on what you like). I'm not trying to dismiss WineTools, it's just that I'd much prefer people working on improving the "real" thing rather than distribute workarounds for a specific combination of Windows software and Wine release.

more on pirates
by Oliver Stieber Jan. 20, 2005

Jan. 20, 2005

I've just sent some patches to patches that are enough to get Pirates running. Installing pirates... Pirates uses a MSI installer, I had to Set winver to win98. When prompted about directX 9 say no. (or yes if you really want to). If you get an OLE error make a note and try again, I managed to install on the forth attempt. Then to run Pirates you need to... Turn pixel shaders off Turn shadows off. or you get missing textures. I'd also suggest turning down the detail (just incase), but it doesn't seem to matter that much. The problems I've come across so far are: Memory issues: Unknown cause as yet. When visiting the Governor only a section of the screen fades in and out, this is caused by a viewport larger than the window not being handled correctly. Sometimes textures on models like the docks don't render properly. Sometimes the textures are the wrong way around or wrapped incorrectly, this may be the same problem as above. I get 7-12 FPS in sailing, everything else is a lot quicker (upto 70fps). AMD 2000+ 512MB Ram ATI-9600. I've tried a few other Direct x 9 games but I generally can't get passed the installer (using wine or cegeda). ___________________________________________________________ ALL-NEW Yahoo!

uses for transmit_as in NT interoperability services
by Luke Kenneth Casson Leighton Jan. 19, 2005

Jan. 19, 2005

it's odd, innit? you start to explore and go "uh, duh, _that's_ what that's for". there are a number of places in the NT services that i network-reverse-engineered six years ago where i was thinking, "hm, that's not NDR-formatted..." and had to continue anyway bumbling along. the areas i encountered which were most definitely _not_ NDR-formatted, despite appearances, were: 1) Security Descriptors 2) Spoolss (spoolss.idl) Data Structures (usually in case statements with horribly large unions) 3) Service Control Manager (svcctl.idl) security descriptors that i encountered contained relative offsets of members in the structure where it _mattered_ what the offset value was, and the same thing i encountered in spoolss data. unlike NDR, pointers are tokens: if it's non-zero, it's a pointer, and the data can be "expected" at a known point because the order in which structures are added is well-defined. [no i know i haven't mentioned the difference between ptr and unique] what i believe may be being used is "transmit_as" - see an example code from entegrity.com at: http://support.entegrity.com/private/doclib/docs/osfhtm/develop/apgstyle/Ap… so, to follow the guidance and examples at the above link, to send a Security Descriptor you would create this: typedef struct { int size; [ptr, size_is(size)] *security_descriptor_blob; } SECURITY_DESCRIPTOR_BLOB; then you would do this typedef [transmit_as(SECURITY_DESCRIPTOR_BLOB)] PSECURITY_DESCRIPTOR; and then, magically, you can do THIS: NTSTATUS SamrGetSecurityDescriptor(handle_t *hnd, [in, ref] PSECURITY_DESCRIPTOR); and in the server-side thing you'd define: void PSECURITY_DESCRIPTOR_to_xmit(PSECURITY_DESCRIPTOR *sec_des, SECURITY_DESCRIPTOR_BLOB *blob) { blob->size = get_security_descriptor_actual_size(sec_des); blob->data = malloc(blob_size); memcpy(blob->data, get_security_descriptor_blob(sec_des), blob->size); } not forgetting to do this! void PSECURITY_DESCRIPTOR_free_xmit( SECURITY_DESCRIPTOR_BLOB *blob) { free(blob->data); } and i think that's just _so_ cool. only took six years to realise it's possible. ... and i'd be fascinated to know if it's _right_ :) l. -- -- <a href="http://lkcl.net">http://lkcl.net</a> --

Hi Tom, As of Jan 19th 2005 the remaining work is basically to make Wine use winecfg as well as lots of testing. Writing a patch that Alexandre is happy with to kill the config file and move it all into the registry might be tricky, especially as the tree is so unstable right now (do we really want to make it worse?) ... but that's what needs to be done. There are plenty of other things that need to be done too but they can wait until people are actually *using* the damn thing thanks -mike
