	* [ipc/*]
	New directory. This directory contains the new inter-wine
 	communications support. It enables DDE protocols between two wine
 	instances.  Currently it is limited to DDE, but can be enhanced to
 	support OLE between 2 different wine instances.  This is very
 	important for libwine.a DDE/OLE support.

	* [tools/ipcl]
    	A script to delete garbage IPC handles (shared memory, semaphores
 	and message queues).  The current inter-wine communication is not
 	perfect, and sometimes leaves garbage behind.

	* [if1632/relay.c] [include/atom.h] [include/global.h]
 	[loader/selector.c] [loader/task.c] [loader/module.c]
 	[loader/signal.c] [memory/global.c] [misc/atom.c]
 	[windows/class.c] [windows/message.c] [windows/win.c]
	[Imakefile]
    	Hooks for inter-wine DDE support, current Global.*Atom functions
 	renamed to Local.*Atom since Global.*Atom are used for Inter-Wine
 	DDE communication. (The first call to these functions sets up the
 	IPC structures - which otherwise cause unneeded overhead.

Mon Jul 17 19:55:21 1995  Alexandre Julliard  <julliard@sunsite.unc.edu>

	* [controls/menu.c]
	Don't crash if a NULL string is passed to menu functions.

	* [memory/selector.c]
	We now use a bit in ldt_flags_copy to indicate free LDT entries.
	Fixed a bug in SELECTOR_ReallocBlock that could cause it to
	overwrite valid LDT entries when growing a block.

	* [miscemu/instr.c]
	Emulate int xx instruction by storing the interrupt vector in
	CS:IP and returning directly. This allows a program to install an
	interrupt vector.

	* [windows/win.c]
	Added function WIN_GetTopParent to get the top-level parent of a
	window.

Sun Jul  16 18:17:17 1995  Gregory Trubetskoy <grisha@mira.com>

        * [loader/resource.c]
        Added LoadIconHandler. It doesn't do anything yet, but now you
        can use borland help files with winhelp.exe.

Sun Jul 16 11:58:45 1995 Anand Kumria <akumria@ozemail.com.au>

	* [misc/main.c]
	Fixed to return 386 Enhanced mode correctly. Also return the same
 	type of CPU, for both Enhanced and Standard mode, namely a 386.

Sun Jul 16 00:02:04 1995    Martin von Loewis <loewis@informatik.hu-berlin.de>

	* [Configure] [include/options.h] [include/wineopts.h]
	  [misc/main.c][misc/spy.c]
	  Removed support of spy file. Redirected spy messages to stddeb.
	  Removed -spy option. Added -debugmsg +spy option.

	* [debugger/dbg.y][debugger/debug.l]
	Enabled segmented addresses (seg:offs) for break and x commands.

	* [if1632/gdi.spec] [objects/region.c] [windows/graphics.c]
	  [include/region.h]
	FrameRgn, REGION_FrameRgn: New functions

	* [if1632/kernel.spec]
	IsWinOldApTask: Return false

	* [if1632/mouse.spec]
	CplApplet: Removed

	* [if1632/user.spec] [windows/win.c]
	ShowOwnedPopups: New function

	* [if1632/winsock.spec] [misc/winsocket.c]
	inet_addr, select: New prototypes in relay code
	Fixed memory layout for netdb functions (getXbyY).
	WINSOCK_ioctlsocket: Translated FIONREAD, FIONBIO, and FIOASYNC

	* [objects/clipping.c]
	RectVisible: Fixed call to LPToDP

	* [rc/winerc.c]
	main: Removed extra argument to getopt for Linux.

Tue Jul 11 00:14:41 1995   Bernd Schmidt <crux@pool.informatik.rwth-aachen.de>

        * [controls/listbox.c]
	Yet another fix for ListBoxDirectory().
	
	* [loader/module.c] [if1632/kernel.spec]
	Make GetModuleHandle() accept instance handles as parameter.

        * [if1632/relay.c] [loader/task.c]
	Put a magic cookie at the bottom of the 32 bit stack, and check on
	each return from a 32 bit function whether it's still there. Complain
	if it's not.

        * [if1632/user.spec]
	Wrong entry for CloseDriver().

	* [misc/dos_fs.c] [loader/task.c] [include/dos_fs.h] [misc/file.c]
	[miscemu/int21.c]
	Large parts of dos_fs.c simplified. Changed it to use one
	current drive/directory per task, which is set to the module path on
	task creation.
	Prevent CorelPaint from closing stdin.
	open() with O_CREAT set must be passed three parameters.
	DOS FindFirst()/FindNext() could crash when FA_LABEL was set. Fixed,
	it's in DOS_readdir() now.

	* [misc/profile.c]
	Some badly written software (Lotus Freelance Graphics) passes a bogus
	size parameter that caused Wine to write off the end of a segment.
	Fixed. (It's probably too paranoid now.)
	
	* [multimedia/mmsystem.c] [multimedia/time.c] [multimedia/joystick.c]
	[multimedia/Imakefile] [if1632/winprocs.spec]
	16 bit entry point for MMSysTimeCallback.
	Split off time.c and joystick.c from mmsystem.c.
	
	* [objects/dib.c]
	GetDIBits(): call XGetImage() via CallTo32_LargeStack.

        * [windows/cursor.c]
	DestroyCursor(): do nothing for builtin cursors.
	
	* [windows/mdi.c]
	Half of WM_MDISETMENU implemented.
	
	* [windows/win.c]
	EnumWindows() and EnumTaskWindows() never enumerated any windows.
	Fixed.

	* [windows/*.c]
	Fixed GetParent() to return correct values for owned windows.

	* [windows/message.c]
	Don't try to activate disabled top-level windows.

        * [windows/nonclient.c]
	Work around a bug in gcc-2.7.0.
	
	* [tools/build.c] [include/stackframe.h] [memory/global.c] 
	[loader/task.c] [memory/selector.c]
	Some Visual Basic programs (and possibly others, too) expect ES to be 
	preserved by a call to an API function, so we have to save it.
	In GlobalFree() and FreeSelector(), we must clear CURRENT_STACK16->es 
	to prevent segfaults if ES contained the selector to be freed.

Sun Jul  9 20:21:20 1995  Jon Tombs  <jon@gtex02.us.es>

	* [*/*]
	Added missing prototypes to header files and relevant includes
	to reduce compile time warnings.

Sun Jul  9 18:32:56 1995  Michael Patra  <micky@marie.physik.tu-berlin.de>

	* [configure.in] [include/config.h] [*/Makefile.in]
	New configuration scheme based on autoconf.

Sat Jul  8 14:12:45 1995  Morten Welinder  <terra+@cs.cmu.edu>

	* [miscemu/ioports.c]
	Revamp to have only one in- and one out- variant, both really
 	implemented.

	* [miscemu/instr.c]
	INSTR_EmulateInstruction: Use new ioport interface.  Implement
 	string io.  Correct instruction pointer for 32-bit code.

	* [include/miscemu.h]
	Update port function prototypes.

	* [include/registers.h]
	Defined FS and GS.

Sat Jul  8 13:38:54 1995  Hans de Graaff  <graaff@twi72.twi.tudelft.nl>

	* [misc/dos_fs.c]
	ChopOffSlash(): A path consisting off a single slash is left
 	intact, and multiple slashes are all removed.

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 & ChangeLog to wine-new@amscons.com (Bob Amstadt), or send it to
me, and I will collect the fixes and forward them to wine-news.
