I need to test a fix for a bug on a clean Wine installation. After removing my configuration directory, running tools/wineinstall I noticed that new Windows directories do not have fake files with 0 length I used to see in my old directory (shell.dll, shell32.dll, winsock.dll, wnsock32.dll, autoexec.bat, config.sys). All these fake files have exactly the same time, the same as some directories (e.g. Recent, SendTo, which do not exist in the new directory). Obviously, all these changes could not be made manually by me. Do you know what application created these files/directories or I just dreamed all this up?

You can create fake files with the command 'touch'. So if you want to create shell32.dll you would use: touch shell32.dll This simply creates a zero byte file with the name given. Philipp

Hmm, I think I never used this tool. Complete mistery... :-) Andriy Palamarchuk __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Try FREE Yahoo! Mail - the world's greatest free email! http://mail.yahoo.com/
