Copyright Robert J. Amstadt, 1993. All code is provided without warranty. It is my intent to cover this code with the Gnu Public License. INSTALLATION: Uncompress and untar this archive into the directory of your choice. This release requires a Linux version 0.99 pl12 kernel with ALPHA-diffs and sognal-diffs. Apply ALPHA-diffs first, and then signal-diffs. To build Wine, first do a "make depend" and then a "make". The executable "wine" will be built. WHAT'S NEW with version 0.3.0: (see ChangeLog for details) - Mouse capture - Text justification and underlining - Clipping - LoadBitmap() completed - Code generated by the Borland compiler should now work WHAT'S NEW with version 0.2.8: (see ChangeLog for details) - Text functions from Alexandre - INT 21h from Eric - Menu improvements from David - Bug fixes and GetProcAddress() stub from me WHAT'S NEW with version 0.2.7: (see ChangeLog for details) - sol.exe gets further. I did some debugging and now solitaire stops when it tries to call GetTextExtent(). Any volunteers? - Many DC updates from Alexandre. - Menu updates to support underlining characters from David Metcalfe. WHAT'S NEW with version 0.2.6: (see ChangeLog for details) - More region updates from Alexandre WHAT'S NEW with version 0.2.5: (see ChangeLog for details) - Regions implemented by Alexandre - More menuing code from me WHAT'S NEW with version 0.2.4: (see ChangeLog for details) - Many improvements to GDI from Alexandre - Many improvements to menu handling by me. WHAT'S NEW with version 0.2.3: (see ChangeLog for details) - Bug fixes with SendMessage() and PostMessage() - Preliminary menu support WHAT'S NEW with version 0.2.2: (see ChangeLog for details) - Misc bug fixes - More bitmap code - Timers - Memory DC's WHAT'S NEW with version 0.2.1: - I have placed things into sub-directories. The organization is not finalized. I imagine that the directory structure will change as is necessary. Files in the ./misc directory need to be split apart and placed in apropriate directories. - Tons of code from Alexandre. He has constructed the framework for handling GDI objects. He has also provided code for DCEs. - Local heap functions have been completed. - Bug fixes in global.c and win.c - New function GlobalQuickAlloc() combines GlobalAlloc() and GlobalLock() into a single function call. - New patch kit for Linux 0.99 pl11 kernel. Thanks to Linus who has graciously included our patches into the ALPHA patch release cycle. WHAT'S NEW with version 0.2.0: - Alexandre Julliard has provided a replacement for the Tcl code. The new code uses Xlib and Xt directly with no intervening interpretted language. This should reduce the learning curve for casual hackers. - I changed all GLOBAL_ names to Global. WHAT'S NEW with version 0.1.1: - I have completed global memory allocation, but I don't like it. It is not 100% compatible with Windows. I need some more kernel modifications for 100% compatibility. - Alexandre Julliard has provided written better emulation for the Windows message queue. WHAT'S NEW with version 0.1.0: - Latest patches from Alexandre Julliard. - minor bug fix in if1632.S WHAT'S NEW with version 0.0.5: - Patches from Alexandre Julliard. Some integration with Tcl. - Generic interface for callback procedures. This will allow callbacks into DLLs. - MakeProcInstance() has been implemented but untested. WHAT'S NEW with version 0.0.4: - Eric Youngdale modified wine.c and selector.c to allow loading of Windows DLLs. - Added global memory allocation routines (GlobalAlloc, GlobalFree, and GlobalLock) - Bitmap resource loading into global memory. WHAT'S NEW with version 0.0.3: - Fixed bug with sector sizes. - Registers at program startup are now set correctly. - Segment fixups for relocatable-segment internal entry points. - Fixed bug in DOS PSP structure. - Some resource loading is done. - Added "return" ordinal type to build program. - Added comment capability to build program. WHAT'S NEW with version 0.0.2: - Again thanks to Eric Youngdale for some very useful comments. - The Windows startup code created by Micrsoft C 7.0 now runs to completion. - Added a new patch to the kernel to increase the usable size of the ldt to the full 32 entries currently allowed. - Imported name relocations are now supported. - Source code for my infamous test program is now included. - A handful of basic Windows functions are now emulated. See "kernel.spec" for examples of how to use the build program. WHAT'S NEW with version 0.0.1: - Eric Youngdale contributed countless improvements in memory efficiency, bug fixes, and relocation. - The build program has been completed. It now lets you specify how the main DLL entry point should interface to your emulation library routines. A brief description of how to build these specifications is included in the file "build-spec.txt". - The code to dispatch builtin DLL calls is complete, but untested. TODO: - Segment fixup code completion. - Trap and handle DOS and DPMI calls. - GlobalAlloc of code segments. - Rewrite global memory support including kernel mods to allow application to mess with page map. - Handle self-loading applications. - Resource loading - Lots and lots of API fiunctions. BUILD: The documentation for the build program is in the file build-spec.txt FINALE: Good luck, If you successfully add anything, please send me a copy. Bob Amstadt bob@amscons.com
