Sat Dec 23 18:15:59 1995  Alexandre Julliard  <julliard@sunsite.unc.edu>

	* [configure.in] [Makefile.in] [tools/install-sh]
	New 'install' target installs Wine binary, library and man page.
	Library is now more logically named libwine.a.
	Split toolkit/ directory into library (for library code) and
	libtest (for test programs).

	* [controls/edit.c]
	Quick hack to partially support EM_PASSWORD style (avoids
	displaying your passwords on the screen when testing programs...)

	* [configure.in] [controls/menu.c] [include/resource.h]
	  [misc/commdlg.c] [misc/ole2nls.c] [misc/shell.c] [windows/msgbox.c]
	Language is now a run-time option (wine -language xx).

	* [debugger/dbg.y]
	Dump some more debugging info on crash.

	* [misc/profile.c]
	Only consider ';' as a comment if it's the first non-blank
	character on the line.

	* [miscemu/dpmi.c]
	More debugging info for real-mode callback.

	* [objects/gdiobj.c]
	Rewrote EnumObjects() to do the Right Thing.

	* [resources/sysres*]
	New directory containing system resources.

Fri Dec 22 11:24:39 GMT 1995  John Harvey <john@division.co.uk>

	* [win32/file.c] [win32/memory.c]
        Unixware doesn't have MAP_ANON ifdefed out for now.

	* [misc/dos_fs.c]
        DOS_GetDosFileName didn't truncate paths starting ./ properly.

	* [tools/build.c]
	Produces assembly code that works with the unixware assembler.

Wed Dec 20 22:22:29 +0100 1995  Morten Welinder <terra@diku.dk>

	* [miscemu/instr.c]
	INSTR_GetOperandAddr: 16-bit addresses should be masked to 16 bits.

	* [misc/dos_fs.c]
	DOS_readdir should always return directories, even if they don't
 	match the file name mask.

Tue Dec 19 18:00:00 1995  Uwe Bonnes <bon@elektron.ikp.physik.th-darmstadt.de>
	
	* [misc/exec.c]
	Give arguments to winhelp.

	* [miscemu/int21.c]
	Implemented Interrupt 21 AX=6C00 EXTENDED OPEN/CREATE.
	Created function ExtendedOpenCreateFile.
	Give for some Windows95 interrupts the return value 'not
	implemented'.

Sun Dec 17 16:51:56 EST 1995  Jim Peterson <jspeter@birch.ee.vt.edu>

	* [include/kernel32.h] [include/windows.h]
	Moved the typedefs for SYSTEMTIME and LPSYSTEMTIME from
 	include/kernel32.h to include/windows.h and declared the new Win32
 	API functions Sleep(), GetLocalTime(), and GetSystemTime().
  	Redefined INFINITE as 0xFFFFFFFF if WINELIB32.

	* [rc/rc (new file)]
	Created the shell script 'rc', which should simplify resource
 	compilation.

	* [win32/environment.c]
	Kludged around an undefined reference to wine_files.  This change
 	should be fixed some time.

	* [win32/time.c] [if1632/kernel32.spec]
	Added the functions GetSystemTime(), and Sleep().

	* [miscemu/int21.c]
	Renamed static function GetSystemTime to INT21_GetSystemTime to
 	avoid conflicts with the API function of the same name.

	* [include/wintypes.h]
	Added the SPFMT definition for printf statements.

	* [misc/shell.c] [include/shell.h]
	Changed ERROR_* defines to SHELL_ERROR_*, as they were conflicting
 	with the ones in include/winerror.h.  They should probably use the
 	versions in winerror.h, but I'm not certain, and that can be done
 	later.

	* [windows/mdi.c]
	Translated WM_MDIACTIVATE(?,(LOhwnd,HIhwnd)) messages to
 	WM_MDIACTIVATE(HIhwnd,LOhwnd) for WINELIB32.  The ? parameter
 	(boolean) was discarded with this translation.  Translated handler
 	of WM_MDISETMENU(ref,(loHMENU,hiHMENU)) to handle
 	WM_MDISETMENU(loHMENU, hiHMENU) messages in WINELIB32 (ref assumed
 	false, call DrawMenuBar() if desired).

	* [*/*]
	General explicit casts and more rigid typing to remove warnings.

	* [include/winpos.h] [windows/winpos.c]
	Changed return type of WINPOS_ChangeActiveWindow to BOOL.

	* [include/commdlg.h] [misc/commdlg.c]
	Added prototypes for ChooseColor(), CommDlgExtendedError(),
 	FindText() GetFileTitle(), GetOpenFileName(), GetSaveFileName(),
 	PrintDlg, and ReplaceText().
	Renamed the CommDlgExtendError() function to CommDlgExtendedError().
	Made GetFileTitle return a short, as per the API definition.

	* [Makefile.in]
	Added line to clean and distclean that removes temporaries from
 	the include directory.

Sat Dec 16 19:39:14 MET 1995  Steffen Moeller <smoe0024@rz.uni-hildesheim.de>

	* [controls/edit.c]
	Almost rewrote EDIT_GetLineMsg.

Sat Dec 16 13:51:48 MST 1995  Andrew Taylor <andrew@riscan.com>

	* [windows/mdi.c]
	Fixed MDITile() bug that occurs when 0 windows are present or all
	windows are minimized.

Wed Dec 12 23:30:00 1995  Uwe Bonnes <bon@elektron.ikp.physik.th-darmstadt.de>

	* [misc/profile.c]
        Try harder to find files, especially in the working directory.
	Look in $HOME/.wine too and create it there if it isn't found.

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 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

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 config file is just like a Windows .ini file.
The file wine.ini contains a config file example.

Here's an explanation of each section:

* [drives]

format: <driveletter> = <rootdirectory>
default: none

This section is used to specify the root directory of each `dos'drive 
as Windows' applications require a dos/mswindows based diskdrive & 
directory scheme. 

If you mounted your dos-partition as /dos and installed Microsoft Windows 
in c:\windows than you should specify c=/dos in the drives section.

* [wine]

format: windows = <directory>
default: c:\windows

Used to specify an different windows directory.

format: system = <directory>
default: c:\windows\system

Used to specify an different system directory.

format: temp = <directory>
default: c:\temp

Used to specify a directory where Windows applications can store temporary
files.

format: path = <directories separated by semi-colons>
default: c:\windows;c:\windows\system

Used to specify the path which will be used to find executables and DLL's.

format: symboltablefile = <filename>
default: wine.sym

Used to specify the path and file name of the symbol table used by the
built-in debugger.

* [serialports]

format: com[12345678] = <devicename>
default: none

Used to specify the devices which are used as com1 - com8.

* [parallelports]

format: lpt[12345678] = <devicename>
default: none

Used to specify the devices which are used as lpt1 - lpt8.

* [spy]

format: exclude = <message names and/or EXCLUDEALL separated by commas >
default: none

Used to specify which messages will be excluded from the message logging.

format: include = <message names and/or INCLUDEALL separated by commas >
default: none

Used to specify which messages will be included in the message logging.


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 wine-new@amscons.com for inclusion in the next
release.
