Alexandre Julliard 84c70f55b5 Release 970509
Tue May  6 19:12:20 1997  Alexandre Julliard  <julliard@lrc.epfl.ch>

	* [loader/task.c] [loader/module.c]
	Fixed command line in LoadModule to already include the length
	indicator (thanks to Andreas Mohr).

	* [windows/dialog.c]
	DlgDirList: fixed behavior with DDL_DRIVES | DDL_EXCLUSIVE (thanks
	to Bruce Milner for this one); correctly update file spec on exit.

	* [windows/winproc.c] [if1632/thunk.c] [include/callback.h]
	Moved emulator-specific code for calling window procedure to
	thunk.c.

Mon Apr 28 10:21:59 1997  Huw D M Davies <h.davies1@physics.oxford.ac.uk>

	* [memory/local.c]
	Better implementation of moveable blocks (first word in block is
	the handle itself) and discarded blocks. Local(Re)Alloc is much
	more like the real thing.

Thu Apr 24 19:50:19 1997  Albrecht Kleine <kleine@ak.sax.de>

	* [objects/metafile.c]
	Added handling of meta record META_DIBCREATEPATTERNBRUSH.

Mon Apr 21 14:03:32 1997  Alex Korobka <alex@trantor.pharm.sunysb.edu>

	* [multimedia/mmsystem.c] [multimedia/audio.c]
	Fixed leftover problems with masked device IDs.

	* [msdos/int21.c]
	Removed code duplications, fixed Write.

	* [windows/event.c] [windows/dce.c] [windows/nonclient.c]
	  [windows/winpos.c]
	Yet another attempt to make -managed work better.

	* [controls/combo.c]
	UI fix.

Mon Apr 21 13:10:24 1997  Marcus Meissner <msmeissn@immd4.informatik.uni-erlangen.de>

	* [debugger/*]
	All "Loading from ..." lines merged into one so important
	information before the crash doesn't scroll out.

	* [if1632/kernel.spec]
	Added some ordinal stubs used by win95 OLE and friends.

	* [win32/process.c] [if1632/kernel.spec] [loader/module.c]
	MsgWaitForMultipleObjects,GetProcessTimes,RtlImageNtHeaders,
 	LoadLibraryEx32W and GetProcAddress32W added.

	* [objects/bitmap.c]
	XImages use another memory layout for depth 4 (and poss. other
 	depths) then Windows bitmaps. Replaced speedup hack by generic
 	(and better working) code.

	* [objects/dib.c]
	Another ximage!=bitmap memory layout bug. 
	All _XinitImageFuncPtrs except one removed.

Sun Apr 20 17:12:30 1997  Andrew Taylor <andrew@riscan.com>

	* [multimedia/audio.c]
	Fixed some regression bugs.

Sun Apr 20 12:15:09 1997  Andreas Mohr <100.30936@germany.net>

	* [loader/module.c]
	Fixed MODULE_LoadExeHeader() to use the correct offset for
	fast-load area.

Sat Apr 19 16:40:00 1997  Chad Fraleigh <chadf@bookcase.com>

	* [controls/*] [debugger/*] [graphics/win16drv/*] [loader/*] [misc/*]
	  [win32/*]
	Removed <malloc.h> and added <stdlib.h> where needed.
	Changed printf formaters to match argument types (%lx instead of %x).
	Casted some types to make the compiler happy. Mostly pointer<->ulong.

	* [graphics/win16drv/init.c]
	Fixed uninitialized variable.

	* [include/msdos.h]
	Added <sys/types.h> needed for <dirent.h>.

	* [include/sigcontext.h]
	Combined a common NetBSD & FreeBSD #ifdef, and added in OpenBSD.
	Casted EIP_sig/ESP_sig to be unsigned long (declared as 'int' in *BSD).

	* [misc/crtdll.c] [misc/lstr.c]
	Casted last argument in v*printf() to be va_list. This code seems to
	make BIG assumptions about the implementation of va_list.

	* [misc/ver.c]
	Fixed impossible if() expression (unsigned < 0).

	* [misc/winsock.c]
	Removed semicolon on the end of an if() statement.

	* [windows/mdi.c]
	Changed a counter/index to unsigned since it was complaining about
	signed/unsigned comparison and didn't need to be negative.

Wed Apr 16 17:43:19 1997 Georg Beyerle <gbeyerle@awi-potsdam.de>

	* [scheduler/thread.c]
	Minor fix in thread database initialization.

Wed Apr 16 17:28:05 1997  Andreas Mohr <100.30936@germany.net>

	* [files/file.c]
	Fixed FILE_FillInfo() to omit the archive flag when handling a DOS
	directory entry.

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

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".
The executable "wine" will be built.  "wine" will load and run 16-bit
Windows executables.

To build Winelib, do a "./configure --with-library", and then a "make
depend; make". The library "winelib.a" will be built, allowing to
compile Windows source code under Unix. If you have an ELF compiler,
you can use "./configure --with-dll" instead to build a shared library.

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.


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.

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.
