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]

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

	* [scheduler/process.c] [scheduler/sysdeps.c]
	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>

	* [ole/ole2nls.c]
	Changed "English" values from German to English.

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]

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]
	[scheduler/critsection.c] [scheduler/event.c] [scheduler/handle.c]
	[scheduler/k32obj.c] [scheduler/mutex.c] [scheduler/process.c]
	[scheduler/semaphore.c] [scheduler/thread.c]
	Added generic k32obj read and write routines for k32objs that
	support I/O.

	* [documentation/console]
	Updated console docs.

	* [win32/console.c]
	Make console work like a k32obj that supports I/O.

	* [include/windows.h]
	Make WriteFile and ReadFile take HANDLE32 for handle.

Sun Feb 15 14:07:07 1998  Dimitrie O. Paun  <dimi@mail.cs.toronto.edu>

	* [controls/menu.c] [misc/ver.c] [multimedia/dsound.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.

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.
