Alexandre Julliard a11d7b1a68 Release 980301
Sun Mar  1 10:45:23 1998  Andreas Mohr <100.30936@germany.net>

	* [loader/ne_image.c]
	Fixed problem with weird DLLs (NE_FFLAGS_SINGLEDATA && DGROUP = 0).

	* [msdos/dosmem.c]
	Export address for __0000H, too.

	* [msdos/dpmi.c]
	Changed MemAlloc functions to return less fragmented addresses.

Sat Feb 28 18:50:12 1998  Alexandre Julliard  <julliard@lrc.epfl.ch>

	Don't use %fs register before threading initialization.

Sat Feb 28 14:04:56 1998  Kristian Nielsen  <kristian.nielsen@risoe.dk>

	* [configure.in] [include/acconfig.h]
	Autoconf macro to check for non-reentrant X libraries.

	* [windows/winpos.c]
	In SetWindowPos32(), do not cause WM_SIZE messages when the
	SWP_NOSIZE flag is specified. This fixes the division-by-zero in
	Borland C++ 4.0 "Open Project" menu item.

Sat Feb 28 13:11:26 1998  James Moody  <013263m@dragon.acadiau.ca>

Fri Feb 27 22:12:01 1998  Douglas Ridgway  <ridgway@winehq.com>

	* [windows/win.c]
	Fix winelib class menu loading bug.

	* [include/module.h] [loader/module.c]
	LoadModule32 should be implemented in terms of CreateProcess.

	* [programs/view/*]
	Metafile viewer sample program.

	* [documentation/wine.texinfo] [documentation/Makefile.in]
	Improvements and additions, HTML target.

Fri Feb 27 04:27:48 1998  Dimitrie O. Paun <dimi@cs.toronto.edu>

	* [*/*]
	Switched to the new debug messages interface. For more information
	please refer to documentation/debug-msgs. Because the new scheme
	introduces a new semantic level, I had to manually do through
	about 530 dprintf_xxx!  The rest of about 2400 where transformed
	via a script.  Because of the large number of changes that I had
	to do, some may have not come out as nicely as I wanted them.  If
	this is the case, please let me know. There is a lot of work left
	to do: -- a few hundred printf's to be converted -- about 2300
	fprintf's to be converted -- about 600 FIXME's to be transformed
	The problem is that in the above mentioned cases, a lot of manual
	intervention is required because a lot of the information is
	missing.  There are also a lot of other things to be done to the
	interface and so forth. I have now ideas for a at least a month
	worth of full time work :) I will proceed with many changes in the
	next few releases, so please do not start modifing things because
	there will be a hell of a lot of conflicts. If you have ideas that
	you want to integrate or you want to work on different things,
	please coordinate with me.

Thu Feb 26 13:04:29 1998  David Lee Lambert <lamber45@egr.msu.edu>

	* [ole/ole2nls.c] [include/windows.h]
	First try at OLE date- and time-formatting functions.

Wed Feb 25 11:20:35 1998 Marcus Meissner <msmeissn@cip.informatik.uni-erlangen.de>

	* [files/*.c]
	Changed dos device handling, added 'CON' devicehandling.

	* [graphics/ddraw.c]
	Bug fixes, some additions.

	* [if1632/builtin.c][loader/module.c][library/winestub.c]
	Small hack so we don't need a dummy BUILTIN_LoadModule
	in winestub.c.

	* [ole/*][relay32/ole32.spec][if1632/storage.spec]
	storage.dll started. winword loads documents (saving
	doesn't work yet, dunno why).
	Several ole additions, some cleanups and bugfixes.
	IMalloc16 implemented.

	* [loader/pe_image.c]
	Added some comments, fixed circular dll references,
	fixed modref ordering, fixed tls allocation.

	* [memory/global.c]
	Added validity checks before every GET_ARENA_PTR.
	(several functions rely on Global* return values
	 on invalid handles, like IsTask).
	Implemented GlobalUnlockFree16.

	* [memory/virtual.c]
	Replaced dprintf_virtual by fprintf, so we can
	do 'info map' again in the debugger. Increase read
	linesize for Linux2.1 cases.

	* [misc/cpu.c][misc/registry.c]
	Moved cpu registry initialization to misc/cpu.c.

	* [multimedia/dsound.c]
	Enhanced, replaced GETOSPACE bufferingcheck by SETFRAGMENT.

	* [relay32/crtdll.spec][relay32/ntdll.spec]
	Replaced some ptr by respective 'str' and 'wstr' arguments
	for libc functions.

	* [scheduler/thread.c]
	Added some sanity checks to stackallocation, tlshandling fixed.

	* [tools/build.c]
	Fixed cdecl argumenttype order (was reversed).

	* [win32/ordinals.c]
	Implemented KERNEL_449.

	* [windows/dinput.c]
	Some fixes, needs much more work. Tomb Raider2 works with keyboard ;)

Tue Feb 24 20:46:37 1998  James Juran   <jrj120@psu.edu>

	* [windows/win.c]
	Fixed USER32 ordinal numbers in documentation.

Sat Feb 21 12:30:38 1998  John Richardson <jrichard@zko.dec.com>

	* [files/file.c] [include/k32obj.h] [memory/virtual.c]

	  [multimedia/joystick.c] [windows/dialog.c]
	Modified some dprintf_xxx's to prepare them for a new
	dprintf_ scheme. Basically, I changed the dprintf's that
	outputed a line with many dprintf calls to do just one
	dprintf call.

README

1. INTRODUCTION

Wine is a program that allows running MS-Windows programs under X11.
It consists of a program loader, that loads and executes an
MS-Windows binary, and of an emulation library that translates Windows
API calls to their Unix/X11 equivalent.

Wine is free software. See the file LICENSE for the details.
Basically, you can do anything with it, except claim that you wrote it.


2. COMPILATION

You must have one of:

	Linux version 0.99.13 or above
	NetBSD-current
	FreeBSD-current or FreeBSD 1.1
	OpenBSD/i386 2.1 or later

You also need to have libXpm installed on your system. The sources for
it are probably available on the ftp site where you got Wine. They can
also be found on ftp.x.org and all its mirror sites.

To build Wine, first do a "./configure" and then a "make depend; make".
This will build the library "libwine.a" and the program "wine".

The program "wine" will load and run Windows executables.
The library "libwine.a" can be used to compile and link Windows source
code under Unix.  If you have an ELF compiler, you can use
"./configure --enable-dll" to build a shared library instead.

To upgrade to a new release by using a patch file, first cd to the
top-level directory of the release (the one containing this README
file). Then do a "make clean", and patch the release with:

    gunzip -c patch-file | patch -p1

where "patch-file" is the name of the patch file (something like
Wine-yymmdd.diff.gz). You can then re-run "./configure", and then
run "make depend; make".


3. SETUP

Once Wine has been built correctly, you can do "make install"; this
will install the wine executable and the man page.

Wine requires you to have a file /usr/local/etc/wine.conf (you can
supply a different name when configuring wine) or a file called .winerc
in your home directory.

The format of this file is explained in the man page. The file
wine.ini contains a config file example.


4. RUNNING PROGRAMS

When invoking Wine, you must specify the entire path to the executable,
or a filename only.

For example: to run Windows' solitaire:

	wine sol		   (using the searchpath to locate the file)
	wine sol.exe

	wine c:\\windows\\sol.exe  (using a dosfilename)

	wine /usr/windows/sol.exe  (using a unixfilename)

Note: the path of the file will also be added to the path when
      a full name is supplied on the commandline.

Have a nice game of solitaire, but be careful.  Emulation isn't perfect.
So, occasionally it may crash.

UPDATE: Windows 95 components are known to cause more crashes compared
        to the equivalent Windows 3.1 libraries.


5. GETTING MORE INFORMATION

The best place to get help or to report bugs is the Usenet newsgroup
comp.emulators.ms-windows.wine. The Wine FAQ is posted there every
month. Also, you may want to browse old messages on www.dejanews.com 
to check whether your problem is already fixed. 

If you add something, or fix a bug, please send a patch ('diff -u'
format preferred) to julliard@lrc.epfl.ch for inclusion in the next
release.
