Modern graphics tablets also provide pressure and tilt information, essential for quality graphics editors such as Painter & Photoshop. Currently graphics tablets are treated as mice in wine, and so cannot provide this information to a Win16/32 app. To access pressure & tilt info in Windows, a programmer would use the wintab.dll. Has anyone attempted to build a wintab.dll for Wine? I'm interested in attempting an extremely limited implementation for Painter & Photoshop, but don't want to reinvent the wheel. Assuming nobody has done this what's the first step? Raise a bug, and accept it? Bye -Rob.

In my past 3 years of monitoring this list I do not recall anyone trying to do this. I could be wrong but my memory is not all that bad...

Yup! It is not absolutly nessesary to start a bug but I would recommend it. I find it gives you a place to keep track of things and somewhere to point to if you run into problems. Another advanatage is that bugzilla maintainers such as myself can point other users to it. (if it even comes up) -- Tony Lambregts
Hi, While trying to connect to the wineHQ ftp site, I am getting the following error with IE6: 200 Type set to A. 500 Illegal PORT command. 500 LPRT not understood I have tried several times unsuccessfully. Thanks, Kye Lewis kyethespy(a)liquid2k.com
The command LPRT is used for ipv6 over FTP, but I don't know any FTP servers that allow this command, maybe oftpd. Keith Matthews wrote:

Don't know about the last error, but the illegal PORT is typically seen when trying to use active FTP from behind a firewall that does not support it.
Command-line MS FTP clients don't support passive mode and I have heard reports that IE does not also. If that is the problem you'll have to switch to a Linux box or find a windows FTP client that supports passive.

Ok, so I'll start it moving... Expect some E-mails on this list about legal and technical issues soon.

Ok, expect a bug to appear any time soon. Cheers -Rob.
