int21 creat flags
by Ferenc Wagner May 9, 2003

May 9, 2003

Hello, Is there any reason why Wine's implementation of DOS function 0x3c (create file with handle) explicitly ignores the invalid flag bits (volume label and directory)? NT4 returns error if any of these bits is set. Some PKSFX files have problem with this, since they try to create directories the invalid way (function 0x3c, flag=0x30, that is, archive directory), and they create FILES instead, which they can not cd later, of course... I was not able to find any information on possible extended use of the above function. So again, is there any reason why Wine does not conform the specification? Feri.

ALSA MIDI
by Jeff Smith May 9, 2003

May 9, 2003

I am back from taking a break from Wine. Not that anyone noticed I was gone. :-) Before I took my break I had done some stuff locally for ALSA MIDI and DirectMusic. I see that some stuff has been done on DirectMusic in my absence, but I maybe I will still have something to contribute there. But in Eric Pouech's recent interview, he made mention that MIDI was still missing from the ALSA driver. I will submit what I can dig back up soon if nobody else is on the verge of submitting something. So speak now, or forever hold... nevermind. Hopefully I will be able to help out the Wine project some until the next time I will have to take a break (in September, when my daughter is due to be born). -- Jeff Smith __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

wine and accessibility
by KK singh May 9, 2003

May 9, 2003

hi, I was trying to run accessibility enabled applications with wine. I was happy to find out that things like high contrast viewing and keyboard shortcuts seem to work fine. But screen readers like jaws fail. They seem to look for certain desktop api's Like OpenInputDesktop and OpenDesktop, which are stubs in wine. Is somebody out there working on "windows station and desktop api's" ? e.g. OpenInputDesktop() Or, Do an alternative way exists for screen readers on unix, and porting accessibility applications from windows is not worthwhile ??

Adding a new DLL question
by Gerhard W. Gruber May 9, 2003

May 9, 2003

I now managed to get my DLL accepted by the wine framework. Now I wanted to know how it's best to proceed. Currently I have created the directories for w95inf32 with the spec file and a c file. I also added the directory to autoconf.ac and to dlls/Makefile.in so that it gets recogniced by wine. The c file is currently empty and contains only the skeleton of the exported functions from the DLL. Shall I submit this already to wine or is it prefered that I try to add some functionality first? I don't know how long it will take until I can get some working code on this because I need to reverse engineer the code. I haven't found any usefull information about the exported functions so far. -- Gerhard Gruber Für jedes menschliche Problem gibt es immer eine einfache Lösung: Klar, einleuchtend und falsch.

SMapLS_IP_EBP question
by Gerhard W. Gruber May 9, 2003

May 9, 2003

In a DLL I looked into the exported function calls SMapLS_IP_EBP/SUnmapLS_IP_EBP. I noticed that these functions are implemented in wine/memory.c (if I remember correctly), but I haven't found any code in wine that references this functions. Now I wonder why. These functions deal with linear/segmented pointers which I suppose are used for 32/16 Bit transition. The DLL has two implementations one for 32 and one for 16 Bit and I assume that the 32 Bit version uses code from the 16 Bit code. I guess that there are other DLLs where the same would be true, so I would expect that other DLL implementations also call these functions (at least in the original version). Since there are no calls in wine to this functions, does this mean that this can be ignored because it is an implementation detail? But then how is the code handled in 16Bit environment? -- Gerhard Gruber Für jedes menschliche Problem gibt es immer eine einfache Lösung: Klar, einleuchtend und falsch. (Henry Louis Mencken)

At least some of the querys at bugzilla stoped working in particilar the "bugs by me" (it really starts to bug me ;) ) A few people have confirmed but no one gave a solution... Any one has any idea? a string end (well thats an expertion in hebrew, sorry) any leads and slim direction to go by? Hatky. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? The New Yahoo!

spam protection on mailing list archives
by Jeremy Newman May 8, 2003

May 8, 2003

I configured the mailing list archives to obfuscate emails now. All new messages will have this. It is a simple form of protection at the moment. It simply changes the emails to this: jnewman_at_codeweavers.com. I don't think this may be enough protection however. I can go one step further just make the emails totally invalid. something like jnewman(a)email.domain.hidden I'm in favor of the later option. Anyone have opinions on this. Note this only affects new posts, for old posts in the archives, I will write a script that does the same. -- Jeremy Newman <jnewman(a)codeweavers.com> CodeWeavers, Inc.

UTF oddity
by Jan Sporbeck May 8, 2003

May 8, 2003

Hallo, while porting a friends windows code, i encountered the following: WideCharToMultiByte returns incorrect string length when using CP_UTF8 for conversion the following code snippet correctly sets nLen1 to 2 but sets nLen2 only to 1 int nLen1 = WideCharToMultiByte(CP_UTF8, 0, L"Ü", 1, NULL, 0, NULL, NULL); // query buffer size int nLen2 = WideCharToMultiByte(CP_UTF8, 0, L"Ü", 1, szUtf, nLen1, NULL, NULL); // do conversion I tested this with Wine <=20030408 am I missing something? /jan. -- ## Every cloud engenders not a storm. -- William Shakespeare, "Henry VI" ##

Dimitrie, This causes a regression in Newsbin. Normally when retrieving new headers they are displayed with a green background (showing that they are "new"). With the patch, I notice two things: - the first line is lacking the green the green background completely (so it is white); - following lines only the first column is painted correctly. The text in the other columns lacks the green background. Does this give you an idea what might be wrong? Rein. -- Rein Klazes rklazes(a)xs4all.nl

Re: rpc exception

Hi list, may I suggest that you have a look at http://www.hpl.hp.com/research/linux/libunwind/intro.php4 To quote the page: "The primary goal of this project is to define a portable and efficient C programming interface (API) to determine the call-chain of a program. The API additionally provides the means to manipulate the preserved (callee-saved) state of each call-frame and to resume execution at any point in the call-chain (non-local goto). The API supports both local (same-process) and remote (across-process) operation. As such, the API is useful in a number of applications. Some examples include: exception handling The libunwind API makes it trivial to implement the stack-manipulation aspects of exception handling." Might be exactly what you are all looking for.
