On the off chance that MSVC6's installer is cheating and reading the handle table entries directly by dereferencing file handles, I started wondering whether wine needed to make all its handles look a bit more like windows handles.
What's the best source of info about how Windows formats its handles and arranges its handle table?
"Inside Microsoft Windows 2000" by David A. Solomon and Mark Russinovich http://www.sysinternals.com/insidew2k.shtml seems like a good source of info. Is it worth the $35 for a budding wine hacker?
The Windows 2000 DDK is probably a good source, http://www.microsoft.com/ddk/W2kDDK.asp but for some reason, http://download.microsoft.com/download/win2000ddk/install/combined-8-00/nt5/... is a broken link.
