	DestroyCursor32 and DestroyIcon32 should now free the objects
	(hopefully) correctly.

Sun Aug  2 21:42:09 1998  Huw D M Davies <daviesh@abacus.physics.ox.ac.uk>

	* [graphics/psdrv/*] [include/psdrv.h]
	Added PPD file parsing - at the moment it reads a file called
	default.ppd from the directory in which you start Wine. Page sizes
	other than A4 should now work (landscape may not). All fonts that are
	present on your printer (according to the PPD) should be available,
	providing you have the AFM files. Fonts should now be the correct size.
	Graphics is still basically lines only. See graphics/psdrv/README .

	* [misc/printdrv.c]
	Yet more Drv[Get/Set]PrinterData fixes.

Fri Jul 31 21:33:22 1998  Per Lindström <pelinstr@algonet.se>

	* [relay32/crtdll.spec] [misc/crtdll.c]
	Added stub for freopen, _findfirst, _findnext, _fstat and _read.

	* [files/directory.c]
	Modified warning message.

Wed Jul 29 11:25:28 1998  Luiz Otavio L. Zorzella  <zorzella@nr.conexware.com>

	* [objects/font.c]
	Added stub for GetFontData.

	* [multimedia/msvideo.c]
	Created this file to hold the msvideo.dll calls (and maybe also
	msvfw32.dll). 

	* [objects/cursoricon.c]
	Added search in Global Heap for cursor when trying to destroy it
	with DestroyCursor16. This test should be done in many (all?)
	other functions that use FreeResource.

	* [controls/treeview.c] [include/commctrl.h]
	Minor correction in name and addition of many placeholders for TVM
	messages in TREEVIEW_WindowProc.

	* [msdos/dpmi.c]
	Fixed a bug in DPMI_xrealloc where in a copy of a memory region
	"A" of size "a" to a region "B" of size "b", "b" bytes were being
	copied, instead of "a", as the new version does. This both
	increases speed, as well as avoids segfaults.

Wine Postscript Driver
======================

When complete this will allow Wine to generate Postscript files without needing
an external printer driver. It should be possible to print to a non Postscript
printer by filtering the output through ghostscript.


Installation
------------

At the moment the driver will only work for 16 bit apps, the move to 32 bit
should be quite easy, I'd just like to improve it first. The driver behaves as
if it were a DRV file called WINEPS.DRV . To install it as the default printer
driver add

device=Wine Postscript Driver,WINEPS,LPT1:

to the [windows] section of win.ini . You may prefer to add

Wine Postscript Driver=WINEPS,LPT1:

to the [devices] section of win.ini instead.

You will need Adobe Font Metric (AFM) files for the (type 1 Postscript) fonts
that you wish to use. You can get these from

ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/type/win/all/afmfiles . The directories base17 or
base35 are good places to start.

Note that these are only the font metrics and not the fonts themselves. At
present the driver does not download additional fonts, so you can only use
fonts that are already present on the printer.

Then create a [afmfiles] section in your wine.conf (or ~/.winerc) and add a
line of the form

file=/unix/path/name/filename.afm

for each AFM file that you wish to use. [This might change in the future]

You also require a ppd file for your printer. This describes certain
characteristics of the printer such as which fonts are installed, how to select
manual feed etc. Adobe also has many of these on its website, have a look in
ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/printerdrivers/win/all/
Put the ppd in the directory from which you start wine and call it default.ppd
[this will definitely change soon].

Note that you need not set printer=on in the [wine] section of wine.conf, this
enables printing via external printer drivers and does not affect wineps.

If you're lucky you should now be able to produce PS files from Wine!

I've tested it with win3.1 notepad/write, Winword6 and Origin4.0 with some
degree of success - you should be able to get something out, it may not be in
the right place.

TODO / Bugs
-----------

Driver does read PPD files, but ignores all constraints and doesn't let you
specify whether you have optional extras such as envelope feeders. You will
therefore find a larger than normal selection of input bins in the print setup
dialog box. I've only really tested ppd parsing on the hp4m6_v1.ppd file.

Landscape mode probably doesn't quite work yet (this is easy to fix).

Graphics are basically non-existent. Only MoveTo/LineTo/Rectangle with a thin
black pen.

No colour.

AFM parsing is not finished (or ideal).

No TrueType download.

Many partially implemented functions.

ps.c is becoming messy.

Probably many more...

Since the driver is very alpha, things are likely to change quickly.
Please contact me if you want to help so that we can avoid duplication.
