Sun Mar 19 16:30:20 1995 Alexandre Julliard (julliard@sunsite.unc.edu) * [*/*] Implemented a new memory mapping scheme. There's no longer a one-to-one mapping between 16-bit and 32-bit pointers. Please see file DEVELOPERS-HINTS for technical details. * [controls/scroll.c] Fixed bug when dragging mouse in horizontal scrollbars. * [tools/build.c] [if1632/*.spec] Removed support for C callback functions and for re-ordering of the 32-bit arguments, as these were never used. This should allow a more efficient callback scheme to be implemented. * [if1632/olecli.spec] Reduced the number of entries to make the 16-bit code fit in 64k. This limitation will soon be removed. * [loader/ldt.c] Rewrote LDT manipulation functions and implemented LDT_GetEntry(). * [memory/global.c] Rewrote Global*() routines to use the new selector allocation mechanism. * [memory/local.c] Rewrote local heap handling to use a Windows-compatible layout (not really finished yet). Implemented TOOLHELP heap-walking routines. * [memory/selector.c] Implemented LDT manipulation API functions. Tue Mar 14 19:50:28 EST 1995 William Magro (wmagro@tc.cornell.edu) * [windows/defdlg.c] Fixed problem where dialogs closed using the System menu ('Close' item or double click on close box) would hang Wine. Sun Mar 12 14:28:13 1995 Michael Patra <micky@marie.physik.TU-Berlin.DE> * [controls/listbox.c] Removed most of the statements for sending a notification message ListBoxDirectory(), DlgDirSelect(), DlgDirList(): Improved the code; Borland's standard file open dialog will work now. * [misc/main.c], [misc/file.c], [miscemu/int21.c] Added support for new command line option "-allowreadonly". If set an attempt to open a read only file in write mode will be converted to opening it read only (many programs try to open all files in read/write mode even if they only intend to read it - this might cause a few under problems under an unix-like environment where most files are read only for a "normal" user) * [loader/selector.c] GetMemoryReference(): Added support for __AHIncr and __AHShift * [misc/dos_fs.c] DOS_SimplifyPath(): This routine simplifies path names ( e.g., it will change "/usr///local/bin/../lib//a" to "/usr/local/lib/a" ) match(): rewritten * [objects/text.c] TEXT_NextLine(): Removed a bug in the handling of LF's * [miscemu/int21.c] GetFileDateTime(): Fixed. SetFileDateTime() is still broken. Sat Mar 11 19:46:19 1995 Martin von Loewis <loewis@informatik.hu-berlin.de> * [controls/menu.c] ChangeMenu: defaults to MF_INSERT InsertMenu: allow insertion even if position is one after last item * [if1632/Imakefile] [if1632/compobj.spec] [if1632/relay.c] [if1632/storage.spec] [include/dlls.h] Added stubs for STORAGE.DLL and COMPOBJ.DLL * [if1632/user.spec] [windows/message.c] InSendMessage: new function * [include/neexe.h][include/ne_image.c] NE_FixupSegment: fixed handling of additive records * [loader/selector.c] GetEntryDLLName: return NULL instead of pointer to DLL.0 if not found * [loader/signal.c] win_fault: Enter debugger on SIGFPE, too Wed Mar 1 21:47:42 1995 Cameron Heide (heide@ee.ualberta.ca) * [miscemu/int*.c] Various minor modifications to the clock tick counter, FindFirst/FindNext funcs, and DPB handling.
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" (or "gmake"
if you're running *BSD). 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".
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: systemresources = <filename>
default: c:\temp
Used to specify the name of sysres.dll, a dll which is used by Wine itself.
* [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: file = <filename or CON when logging to stdout>
default: none
used to specify the file which will be used as logfile.
format: exclude = <message names separated by semicolons>
default: none
Used to specify which messages will be excluded from the logfile.
format: include = <message names separated by semicolons>
default: none
Used to specify which messages will be included in the logfile.
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 to
wine-new@amscons.com for inclusion in the next release.
