notepad and richedit - why?
by Shachar Shemesh 08 Nov '02

08 Nov '02

Hi, I was going over the notepad code, and it is implemented using richedit. My question is - why? There is no functionality there that is not also available through the usual Edit control. The Windows notepad is notoriously implemented via the edit control. Is there a special reason why our notepad is different here? Shachar

Many contributors (including myself) have been providing patches to improve portability or support FreeBSD-specific features which differ from GNU/Linux and the port should be in a decent shape.

Wine 0.8: VB compatibility !!
by Andreas Mohr 08 Nov '02

08 Nov '02

Hi all, I keep encountering people mentioning that VB stuff has lotsa problems on Wine. While I really can't say that I like VB, a lot of people seem to use it for critical tasks in companies on a daily basis, so it sounds like perfect VB compatibility would be utterly important. IMHO improving that should be a goal of 0.8.

Huge speedup to wine ReadFile on small packets
by Hannu Kotipalo 08 Nov '02

08 Nov '02

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi! The only program I use at windows on home is wzebra, a windows based reversi game (http://www.nada.kth.se/~gunnar/othello.html). (linux version coming, but it's binary only :-() Unfortunately current wine version needs over 10 minutes time to start the program! In windows, starting time is just a few seconds. I found out that the source of the delay was a database file (opening book file), which wzebra reads in by a few byte packets. Fortunately wzebra itself measures the time needed for the readout. Since wine has a lot of overhead for opening and closing unix filesystem for every packet, the delay is understandable (but not acceptable!). Of course, buffering helps. I made a Quick-and-dirty 1k buffer for just ReadFile - routine and database readout dropped from over 800 seconds down to 12-13 seconds! (On my 200 Mhz Pentium Pro) I think this should be fixed in a more sophisticated way, so I did not yet post my patch. Also, this patch helps only on this particular problem; reading a file by small packets with ReadFile. However, I noticed that wzebra reads even bitmaps on byte by one... Don't know how usual this is, thought. In addition, I do not have too much time for playing with this. If someone is interested in continuing my work, please mail me, I can reply by sending the patch.

wine.texinfo
by Vincent Béron 08 Nov '02

08 Nov '02

Is it normal that I cannot find a rule to build wine.info from wine.texinfo in the Makefiles? The file seems to still be worked on (last change september 20th), but I must build it with makeinfo manually (or add it to the spec file). Vincent

Searching mailinglists
by Sam 08 Nov '02

08 Nov '02

I was wondering if it would be possible to add a search feature to the mailing list archives, while we're doing the WineHQ redesign ? I think that would be a very useful feature, for both, new and old developers. Or perhaps there is already a search available, hidden somewhere out of sight? :-) sam(a)pcuf.fi

Re: debugging a lockup in Planescape Torment

Whats up with that? fixed size for internal buffers... however a 512 characters identifier seems a bit big to me (even in C++) would you mind printing out the name of the symbol, just to check I'll send a work around for that A+
