Fri Mar  8 19:07:18 1996  Alexandre Julliard  <julliard@lrc.epfl.ch>

	* [configure.in]
	Quote '[' and ']' in the test program for the strength-reduce
	bug. This should work much better...

	* [files/file.c]
	Augmented DOS_FILE structure. Most internal functions now return a
	DOS_FILE* instead of a Unix handle.
	Added a local file array to replace the PDB list upon startup, to
	allow using file I/O functions before the first task is created.
	Added FILE_SetDateTime() and FILE_Sync() functions.
	
	* [loader/module.c]
	Use the DOS file I/O functions in MODULE_LoadExeHeader().

	* [objects/bitblt.c]
	Use visible region instead of GC clip region to clip source
	area. This fixes the card drawing bug in freecell.

	* [objects/region.c]
	Fixed CombineRgn() to allow src and dest regions to be the same.

Fri Mar  8 16:32:23 1996  Frans van Dorsselaer <dorssel@rulhm1.leidenuniv.nl>

	* [controls/EDIT.TODO]
	Updated so it reflects the current status.

	* [controls/edit.c]
	Implemented internal EDIT_WordBreakProc().
	Implemented ES_READONLY.
	Implemented WM_LBUTTONDBLCLK to select whole words.
	Fixed a lot of types in the function definitions.

Wed Mar  6 19:55:00 1996  Alex Korobka <alex@phm30.pharm.sunysb.edu>

	* [debugger/info.c]
	Added "walk window" command to walk window list. 

	* [windows/mdi.c]
	Added proper(?) WM_MDISETMENU message handling.

Wed Mar  6 09:27:12 1996  Martin von Loewis <loewis@informatik.hu-berlin.de>

	* [if1632/callback.c][if1632/relay32.c]
	RELAY32_CallWindowProcConvStruct: new function.

	* [win32/struct32.c][win32/Makefile.in][win32/param.c][win32/user32.c]
	struct32.c: new file. Moved all structure conversions into that file
	PARAM32_POINT32to16,MSG16to32,USER32_RECT32to16: 
	renamed to STRUCT32_POINT32to16, ...
	WIN32_POINT,WIN32_MSG,WIN32_RECT,WIN32_PAINTSTRUCT: renamed to
	POINT32, ...
	New conversion functions for NCCALCSIZE_PARAMS, WINDOWPOS,
 	CREATESTRUCT.

	* [include/windows.h][misc/exec.c]
	WINHELP, MULTIKEYHELP, HELPWININFO: new structures
	WinHelp: Reimplemented. Thanks to Peter Balch
 	(100710.2566@compuserve.com) for his valuable research.

	* [win32/winprocs.c]
	WIN32_CallWindowProcTo16: new function, call in
 	USER32_DefWindowProcA,...

Mon Mar  4 23:22:40 1996  Jim Peterson <jspeter@birch.ee.vt.edu>

	* [include/wintypes.h]
	Added "#define __export".

	* [objects/bitblt.c]
	Put in a few hacks to make bitblt-ing work when upside-down and/or
	mirrored.  BITBLT_StretchImage should really be checked over
	thoroughly.

	* [programs/progman/main.c]
	Added "#include <resource.h>" for definition of HAVE_WINE_CONSTRUCTOR.

	* [rc/parser.h] [rc/parser.l] [rc/parser.y] [rc/winerc.c]
	Eliminated shift/reduce conflict in style definition.
	Added crude error message support: "stdin:%d: parse error before '%s'".
	Implemented string table support to the best of my ability (it works
	with LoadString() calls).

	* [windows/nonclient.c]
	Fixed bug in NC_DoSizeMove() that made system menu pop up when title
	bar of non-iconized window was clicked (checked for iconization).

Mon Mar 04 20:55:19 1996  Marcus Meissner <msmeissn@cip.informatik.uni-erlangen.de>

	* [if1632/lzexpand.spec] [if1632/relay.c]
	  [include/lzexpand.h][misc/lzexpand.c]
	LZEXPAND.DLL added.

Sun Mar 03 18:10:22 1996  Albrecht Kleine  <kleine@ak.sax.de>

	* [windows/win.c]
	Prevent usage of invalid HWNDs in WIN_EnumChildWin(),
	this prevents too early termination of EnumChildWindows().

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).
