Alexandre Julliard 02ed4c2335 Release 960302
Sat Mar  2 18:19:06 1996  Alexandre Julliard  <julliard@lrc.epfl.ch>

	* [controls/scroll.c]
	Fixed SCROLL_THUMB painting fixes from Alex Korobka to store the
 	current tracking window.

	* [files/file.c]
	Fixed two file descriptor leaks in FILE_OpenFile().

	* [if1632/relay32.c] [loader/module.c] [loader/pe_image.c]
	  [tools/build.c]
	Replaced LOADEDFILEINFO structure by OFSTRUCT.

	* [memory/atom.c]
	Reload the pointer to the atom table in ATOM_GetTable() and
 	ATOM_AddAtom() in case the LOCAL_Alloc() calls caused the table to
 	move in linear memory.

Fri Mar  1 11:57:13 1996  Frans van Dorsselaer <dorssel@rulhm1.leidenuniv.nl>

	* [include/callback.h]
	Added support for CallWordBreakProc().

	* [controls/edit.c]
	New caret handling (really efficient / fast).
	Implemented EM_SETWORDBREAKPROC and EM_GETWORDBREAKPROC.
	Fixed EM_SETFONT so it now also creates a proper new caret.

Wed Feb 28 22:03:34 1996  Daniel Schepler  <daniel@frobnitz.wustl.edu>

	* [controls/desktop.c] [misc/main.c] [windows/event.c] [windows/win.c]
	Added WM_DELETE protocol to top-level windows.

	* [controls/scroll.c]
	Fixed a problem which caused slow scrolling to continue	uncontrollably.

	* [misc/exec.c]
	Implemented ExitWindows().

	* [windows/win.c]
	Set top-level owned windows to be transient.

Wed Feb 28 19:13:22 1996  Ulrich Schmid  <uschmid@mail.hh.provi.de>

	* [programs/progman/*]
	Added a program manager.

Wed Feb 28 18:38:01 1996  Duncan C Thomson <duncan@spd.eee.strath.ac.uk>

	* [resources/sysres_Eo.c]
	Added support for Esperanto [Eo] language.

Wed Feb 28 00:23:00 1996  Thomas Sandford <t.d.g.sandford@prds-grn.demon.co.uk>

	* [if1632/user32.spec]
	Added EndDialog, GetDlgItem, GetDlgItemInt, SetDlgItemInt,

	* [win32/init.c]
	Added task.h to includes. GetModuleHandleA() - return hInstance
	if called with NULL parameter. Freecell needs this. NOTE this
	may indicate a problem with differentiation between hModule and
	hInstance within Wine.

	* [win32/resource.c]
	FindResource32() and LoadResource32() - Removed #if 0's around
	conversion from hInstance to hModule. See remarks above.

	* [win32/string32.c]
	WIN32_UniLen() - removed stray semicolon.

Tue Feb 27 21:05:18 1996  Jim Peterson <jspeter@birch.ee.vt.edu>
	
	* [windows/caret.c]
	Set blink rate with call to GetProfileInt().

	* [rc/winerc.c]
	In new_style(), made initial flag settings WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE
 	instead of 0.  This seems to correspond to Borland's defaults, and
 	the flags can be unset by using the (rather obtuse) "| NOT WS_CHILD"
	or "| NOT WS_VISIBLE" technique in the *.rc file.

	* [win32/time.c]
	In GetLocalTime() and GetSystemTime(), used tv_sec field of result
 	returned by gettimeofday() instead of making second call to
 	time().  This eliminates clock jitter if the seconds change
 	between the two calls (rare, but possible).

	* [include/wintypes.h]
	Added "#define _far" and "#define _pascal".

	* [windows/win.c]
	Added function GetDesktopHwnd().

	* [include/xmalloc.h]
	Removed the '#ifdef HAVE_STDLIB_H' structure, since it seemed to
 	have been removed from 'configure', and was causing redefinition
 	warnings.

Tue Feb 27 19:31:11 1996  Albrecht Kleine <kleine@ak.sax.de>

	* [windows/winpos.c] 
	Added RDW_ALLCHILDREN flag in SetWindowPos (handling SWP_FRAMECHANGED)
	to force a repaint when setting menu bars with different rows.

Sun Feb 25 21:15:00 1996 Alex Korobka <alex@phm30.pharm.sunysb.edu>

	* [windows/syscolors.c] [controls/scroll.c]
	Fixed DrawFocusRect pen and SCROLL_THUMB painting.

README

This is winerc, the resource compiler for the Wine project. It takes the
same input as rc.exe, but generates C files as output. These C files can
be linked together with the application, which can access the resource
data directly instead of using FindResource/LoadResource/LockResource.
The generated C code contains arrays, which represent the resource as if
it was obtained from LoadResource. A table to map resource names to
pointers is also available.
Primary applications are the resources of sysres.dll and a future
commdlg.dll, but the use in the library version is possible as well.
The expected advantage of using winerc over sysres.dll is a speed
improvement, however, actual data to support that claim are not
available. The use of winerc might also simplifies the source code. For
example, the system menu is managed in the function CopySysMenu
(controls/menu.c). A winerc-based implementation would just call
	return LoadMenuIndirect(_Sysres_SYSMENU);
As the resources are already in the Wine image, they are loaded on
demand as any other part of a Unix executable image. 

Current State
This is the first release of winerc. It is alpha software, as the rest
of Wine is. If you use it for replacing sysres.dll, or if you write
other parts of Wine which require resource (like commdlg), you will
probably notice a loss in stability. This is especially true for cursor
and icon resources, as they are unlikely to work at all. See the TODO
file for details.

Copying
The license for Wine applies for winerc as well. Read the files LICENSE
and WARRANTY in the current or any future distribution for details. You
can change any source files, and you can add your own copyright notice,
as long as you leave the existing copyrights intact.

Bug Reports and Fixes
If you find a bug in winerc, you can report it to me,
martin@cs.csufresno.edu (Martin von Loewis) or to
comp.emulators.ms-windows.wine. If you can fix the bug, send the diffs
and ChangeLog entry to julliard@lrc.epfl.ch (Alexandre Julliard).
