--- Comment #27 from Dave gcos7@yahoo.com --- I've only built wine once from source as it was recommended for me for an earlier problem. Somehow I managed to not have any sound when I finished. However, for this problem, I may try it again to see if I can make it work. I'll have to look close at where your patch is going so I can be sure I change what needs to be changed.
Thanks for your continued work on this! On a side note, I'm guessing the .text not being writable is an internal thing? My limited experience with VB has shown that picture .text properties, etc., are writable. As for why the program is writing a null - I can see that as end of a string - but many times along with the bracket is pretty weird. The contact I've had from the developer is more the person who implements the program rather than knows the source. I may check to see if there is a way to get the source so I can try to see what they are doing. Of course I fully expect what you are talking about is something completely different that I don't know anything about.
I'll try the hack. It might take me quite a while as I have a very slow laptop. I did try configure but it said I'm trying to build wine for a 32-bit environment when I have a 64-bit system. I'm sure I'm doing something stupid and will figure out what I'm doing on that.
Thanks again!
