We've had the following complaints on wine-users.
I installed this on a windows 98se box. I can't say I like having the DOS window open all the time (it's ugly). Can this not be written as a windows programme, and sit in the system tray?
Also, during the installation process, after I entered my email address, the installer removed what it called 'invalid characters' - i.e., underscores. All my main email addresses contain underscores, so I was forced to enter an old one that is not very reliable.
Ivan.
Thanks for the bug report.

I'm not really sure what the user means. I don't have anything other than an xp machine to test on and services are supported there. Anyone know what the issue is? Maybe adding some code to the non-service path that was added to support win9X machines would let us hide the window?

We could support underscores but Feri tells me that they aren't supported by winetest so I strip them out both during the install and when the email address is being used.
Feri, anyway we can add support for underscores in winetest and remove this requirement?

Win9X does not support multiple window stations as NT does, so the terminal window is visible on screen (where on NT the terminal window is on a non-visible window station) The only solution to this is to make winetest a GUI app that does not create any visible windows.
So this isn't winrash's window, this is the winetest window?

My mistake, its winrash that would be causing the window to open in the first place..but if it didnt winetest would end up doing it anyway at the moment Under win9x its always going to act as tho you just ran the application normally as a regular user

Hmm, I suspect some misunderstanding here. I told winetest didn't allow underscores in the Tag (which is given by the -t option). On the other hand, winetest doesn't even know about email addresses, therefore it doesn't require anything in this respect. I will add support for them, and only require that they don't contain newline characters, ok? ;)
