Hello,
I was just going through my old mail and I noticed Shachar's email (below) on Jan. 26. Just to let you know, I do try to keep up with the wine devel discussions, but as you can see, I'm not very successful. I still have a bug assigned to me that is almost a year old now. I'd like to work on wine more, but I've been really busy with school lately. Hopefully, I'll have more time when I graduate.
Anyway, I chose that green color in winemine specifically to make it annoying ;). Actually, at the time I didn't want it to have a boring old gray background, so I chose green in order to make it would look like grass (a mine field). But I guess it's pretty annoying. Do you have a color preference? Do you or anyone else have more suggestions for improving winemine? Maybe ideas for a 3D minesweeper game or something? I wrote it like four years ago, and I didn't know a whole lot about what I was doing (I was in Comp. Sci. 1 when I wrote it). I'd like it to be more fun than your typical minesweeper game. Also, when I originally submitted it, someone complained that it was slow. Is this still the case for anyone out there?
Thanks,
Josh

Below is a list of what I have so far. This list is
by no means done
or correct . I would like to submit it here for overview. If you
are aware of
something that is out of place, incorrect, or just out right wrong
could you please give
feed back on it.
This could also serve to start as a mini Wine

That is not my current goal but if others think it
could be of use
I could spend some time on one after the Packagers
Guide is updated.

- = files are in this Doc and on my system
@ = files that are on my system but not in the Doc # = files that are not in the Doc or on my System (
wineboot )
Then how do you know of their existance ;-). If wineboot is not installed, that's a bug. We should fix it.
I'll try to help with the things I know. This is far from authorative on most, however.
@ regedit : A tool to browse/edit your regestory or
for exporting a
windows registory to Wine.
Not browse. At least, not yet.
# wineboot : A Winelib application that's executed
by Wine on startup
of the first wine process of a particular user. * wininit.ini processing * registry RenameFiles entries * RunServices* / RunOnce* / Run registry
keys
* win.ini Load= / Run= entries * StartUp folder processing
the last two are not yet done. Also not yet done is for wineboot to automatically run when needed. Currently you have to manually run it after you install something.
@ winemine : A winmine clone "Windows Minesweeper"
???
Yep, using horrid green colors. I'm sorry if I have offended the author (Joshua Thielen, are you still with us?)
@ winepath : Specifies the path(s) in which to
search for builtin dlls
and Winelib applications.
I think this is an executable that, given a Unix path, will tell you what Wine sees it like (i.e. - you tell it ~/c/windows, and it tells you C:\Windows). I'm not sure on that one.
-- winesetup : This is a Tcl/Tk based front end that
provides a user
friendly tool to edit and configure the
WINECONFDIR/config file.
Anyone knows where it is? It was never based on the winehq sources.
