Sun Aug 11 13:00:20 1996 Alexandre Julliard <julliard@lrc.epfl.ch> * [configure.in] [include/acconfig.h] [tools/build.c] Added check for underscore on external symbols. * [memory/selector.c] [memory/global.c] Fixed FreeSelector() to free only one selector. Added SELECTOR_FreeBlock() to free an array of selectors. * [objects/color.c] Fixed a bug in COLOR_ToLogical() that caused GetPixel() to fail on hi-color displays. * [tools/build.c] [if1632/crtdll.spec] Added 'extern' type, used for external variables or functions. * [windows/winpos.c] Allow de-activating a window in WINPOS_ChangeActiveWindow(). * [windows/winproc.c] Added 32-to-16 translation for button messages. Fixed WINPROC_GetPtr() to avoid crashes on 32-bit procedures that happen to be valid SEGPTRs. Sat Aug 10 18:22:25 1996 Albrecht Kleine <kleine@ak.sax.de> * [windows/message.c] Removed a FIXME in MSG_PeekHardwareMsg(): produces correct data for the JOURNALRECORD-hook (using EVENTMSG16 structure). * [if1632/gdi.spec] [include/windows.h] [objects/metafile.c] Introduced undocumented API function IsValidMetaFile(), plus a minor fix in last patch of CopyMetaFile(). * [objects/gdiobj.c] Removed a FIXME in IsGDIObject(): added magic word check. Sun Aug 10 18:10:10 1996 Bruce Milner <Bruce.Milner@genetics.utah.edu> * [controls/statuswin.c] First pass at implementing the StatusWindow class. * [include/commctrl.h] Header file for common controls. * [controls/widgets.c] Added InitCommonControls(). * [if1632/comctl32.spec] Add DrawStatusTextA, CreateStatusWindowA, InitCommonControls. * [win32/findfile.c] [if1632/kernel32.spec] Add FindNextFile32A, FindClose. Modified FindFirstFile32A so it works with FindNextFile32A. * [include/winbase.h] Fixed WIN32_FIND_DATA structure member names. Sat Aug 10 09:00:00 1996 Alex Korobka <alex@phm30.pharm.sunysb.edu> * [windows/scroll.c] Changed scrolling routines to benefit from DCE code update. Thu Aug 8 18:05:09 1996 Marcus Meissner <msmeissn@cip.informatik.uni-erlangen.de> * [files/file.c] SearchPath* could get NULL for lastpart argument. * [if1632/build-spec.txt] [documentation/debugging] Varargs documentation added, debugging hints updated. * [if1632/crtdll.spec][misc/crtdll.c][misc/Makefile.in] Started to implement CRTDLL. * [if1632/wsock32.spec] Some thunks to standard libc functions (structures have the same elements, but perhaps wrong offset due to packing). * [include/kernel32.h][include/windows.h][win32/*.c][loader/main.c] Merged kernel32.h into windows.h. * [misc/lstr.c] Enhanced FormatMessage(). * [misc/main.c] [if1632/kernel.spec] [include/windows.h] GetVersion() updated to new naming standard. Changed language handling to support language ids. * [misc/shell.c] Enhanced FindExecutable, so it finds files in the search path too. * [win32/environment.c] GetCommandLine* updated. * [loader/resource.c] [loader/pe_resource.c] FindResourceEx32* added. Loading of messagetables added. Language handling now uses Wine default language id.

DDE support for Wine
====================
Wine emulator is able to run MS-Windows 3.1 applications under Linux
(Linux is a UNIX clone) . Wine is also a toolkit allowing MS-Windows
applications to compile under Linux. Wine is a world-wide Internet
project with more than 20 developers. Wine is still under development
so many vital MS-Windows features are still missing.
DDE is Dynamic Data Exchange used for communication between MS-Windows
applications. This project adds DDE capabilities into Wine. The new
improved Wine will be able to send messages and share memory between
two different Wine processes.
This project uses System-V IPC mechanisms to implement DDE.
Besides sharing memory handles and sending DDE messages, Wine processes
are synchronize to emulates MS-Windows non-preemptive task switching.
(MS-Windows switches tasks only on given instructions). This is done
without hurting the performance or stability of a single Wine process.
The project adds DDE to Wine emulator and to the toolkit. This allows
old MS-Windows applications to be compiled for UNIX, and have DDE
working among them.
