I've been trying to get Quicken 2000 Deluxe running in wine. After I figured out that it wasn't finding a DLL for the internet connection (and got that fixed), I started testing the second-most important function of Quicken that I need: check printing.
All went well until I tried to print a sample check (to verify alignment), at which point Wine crashed into winedbg. I figured out why: When reading the ppd file, it sets up an *InputSlot for ManualFeed (even though it's not really an InputSlot, but most Win programs treat it as one...). The problem was that, in ppd.c, a Name wasn't given to the slot (but a FullName was), so when ps.c tried to output the header for the InputSlot it crashed (since strlen(NULL) causes a crash).
I hacked the AddSlot call to name the slot "Manual", and this seems to work OK. The question that I have is, is this the way that it should REALLY get fixed (does the name matter?), or should something else be done?
I'd be happy to correct my hack, if necessary. In either case, I can post the patch to sourceforge, once I know "the right way" this should be handled.
Thanks for the help,
I'd suggest calling PSDRV_AddSlot with both Name and FullName set to "Manual Feed"
Huw.
That seems to work as well, so I'll post the patch shortly...
Just out of curiosity, is there a compelling reason for your suggestion?
