Are the reaktivate patches going to be put in the CVS eventually?Some of them are, the rest probably will be. Some parts can't be merged, notably the URLMON implementation, which is in C++ and uses KIO for http transfers.
I just meant the patches specifically meant for wine. There's adirector in their CVS called "Patches-For-Wine" or something like that . The rest of it looks useful too though.
What's the OCX stuff? I remember the current windows help usesand OCX file? Is that some kind of ActiveX related control?
Daniel
Yeah, an OCX is an OLE Custom Control, or an AcitveX control. They're often used to allow Visual Basic programs to have access to controls written for C++, but they have many other uses. For instance, a Visual Basic program that wants to do standard Winsock programming can use the Microsoft Winsock ActiveX control to have an abstract interface into Winsock. It's kind of like a class, that gets packaged into a file (OCX) that gets used at run-time. I don't know why the didn't just use a DLL instead of an OCX...
