Hello All, I am working with wine and want to develop a simple application that will read the Win85/98/2000 LNK files that are used to hold the application data for the desktop icons and url. does anyone have any information on these files, or has anyone done any work with some code to read/write these files?

I would say write a winelib app using the IShellLink and IPersistantFile interfaces. Basically do it the same way as you would under windows. However i seem to remember that you need to call COM functions differently for winelib apps than windows apps. Can someone else confirm that for me? -aric Lonnie Cumberland wrote:

Shouldn't need to do anything particularly special. Just make sure you're using a resonable enough compiler and compile the Winelib application with the -DICOM_USE_COM_INTERFACE_ATTRIBUTE . Have a look at wine/include/wine/obj_base.h at the top comments for a little more information. Otherwise, yes, you will need to do things a little differently. Ciao, Peter
