Question about patch
by Steven Edwards Aug. 23, 2003

http://cvs.winehq.com/cvsweb/wine/dlls/user/wsprintf.c.diff?r1=1.9&r2=1.10 This code is duplicated in shlwapi but this patch has not been applyed there. Does shlwapi accept this case also?

Some news on SoBig.F
by puoti＠inwind.it Aug. 22, 2003

Aug. 22, 2003

Well, this virus is on UK BBC and ITV national news, they report that 30pc of all email users have been infected, and 1in 17 emails contains the virus. It may also slow down the net. It's caused 50 million$ of losses only in the US, maybe now some people will work out that microsoft sucks (Does MS count this in there TCO calculations?).

Re: When will Wine integrate an x86 CPU emulator?
by Kelly Leahy Aug. 22, 2003

Aug. 22, 2003

Not sure I agree with paragraph two of the answer... While writing an x86 emulator (and integrating it into wine) would be quite difficult, I don't see how the complexity has anything to do with the data types and API functions... A true emulator has no concept whatsoever of data types (except the very basic data types of the cpu - x-bit word, x-bit IEEE number, for instance), so its complexity cannot possibly depend on the high-level data types used by the compiler generating the machine code...

Did you write makefiles by hand, or just imported the files into a workspace (*.dsp/dsw)? I expect, the configure script will not work for this. Martin
