How about some newer copy protection systems that Wine could support
I was wondering about that. I'm trying to run autocad 2004. (It's more an example to debug wine, I don't really need it) When run, it generates a temporary DLL, which in turn generates a temporary DLL, which in turn runs the program. (obviously each step involves new layer of encryption.) Would Wine be able to handle something like that ?
Also. Some autocad extensions use printer port or USB hardware keys. Does Wine support low-level printer port access to the real printer port ?
Also fun: acad can open multiple files, but some extensions don't support that, so you need to start a separate instance for each drawing, each with it's own copy protection DLL's, so with a couple of drawings open, more than 50 Mb of your system is wasted on the copy protections....
