Sat Jan 11 18:17:59 1997  Alexandre Julliard  <julliard@lrc.epfl.ch>

	* [controls/menu.c]
	Updated to new Win32 types.

	* [controls/listbox.c]
	Fixed Winfile extended selection bug.

	* [files/directory.c]
	Changed DIR_SearchPath to return both long and short file names.

	* [files/dos_fs.c]
	Implemented VFAT ioctl to retrieve the original short filenames
	from a VFAT filesystem (Linux only for now).
	Replaced DOSFS_GetUnixFileName()/DOSFS_GetDosTrueName() by
	DOS_GetFullName().
	Properly implemented GetShortPathName() and GetFullPathName().
	Made all functions re-entrant.

	* [files/file.c] [misc/main.c]
	Replaced -allowreadonly option by -failreadonly. The default is
	now to report success when opening a read-only file for writing.

	* [objects/metafile.c]
	Fixed bug in DIB bitmaps pointer calculation.

	* [scheduler/process.c]
	Implemented environment strings and Get/SetStdHandle with process
 	environment block.

	* [tools/build.c]
	Rewrote BuildContext32() to avoid instructions that may not be
	supported by all assemblers.
	
Fri Jan 10 17:11:09 1997  David Faure  <david.faure@ifhamy.insa-lyon.fr>

	* [windows/event.c]
	Created table keyc2vkey, which associate a vkey(+extended bit) to
	any keycode. Changed EVENT_event_to_vkey to use this table to
	return the correct vkey. Changed EVENT_ToAscii to get the keycode
	from this table too.  Assigned OEM specific vkeys arbitrarily.

Fri Jan 10 09:26:17 1997  John Harvey <john@division.co.uk>

	* [misc/winsock.c] [misc/winsoc_async.c]

        Removed bcopy() and used memcpy() instead.

	* [debugger/msc.c]
        Include string.h instead of strings.h

	* [debugger/stabs.c]
        Include string.h instead of strings.h.
        Define __ELF__ for svr4 systems.

	* [loader/signal.c]
        Use wait() instead of wait4() which doesnt exist on Unixware.

	* [memory/global.c]
        Use sysconf() instead of getpagesize() for svr4 systems.

Thu Jan  9 21:07:20 1997  Robert Pouliot <krynos@clic.net>

	* [Make.rules.in] [Makefile.in] [make_os2.sh] [rc/Makefile.in]

	* [misc/keyboard.c]
	ToAscii : Use EVENT_ToAscii instead.

	* [windows/event.c]
	keypad_key : Do not convert XK_Mode_switch to VK_MENU; recognize
	keypad cursor keys.
	EVENT_event_to_vkey : New function, to transform a X keycode
	into a MSwin vkey + extended bit.
	EVENT_ToAscii : New function, to transform a vkey + extended bit
	(+ key state table) into ascii char(s), using XLookupString, and
	recognizing dead chars.
	EVENT_key : Transform AltGr into Ctrl+Alt sequence; call
	EVENT_event_to_vkey for keycode to vkey conversion; fixed
	previous, context and extended bits.

	* [windows/keyboard.c]

	GetKeyState : Handle VK_MBUTTON case.

	* [controls/edit.c] [include/windows.h]
	Moved the edit control to 32 bits.
	Included new (win95) message definitions in windows.h
	Implemented EM_SCROLLCARET, EM_SETMARGINS, EM_GETMARGINS,
	EM_GETLIMITTEXT, EM_POSFROMCHAR, EM_CHARFROMPOS.
	Broke EM_SETWORDBREAKPROC (internal wordwrap still works).
	Fixed some bugs, introduced a couple of others.
	Text buffer is now initially in 32-bit heap.

	* [controls/EDIT.TODO] [controls/combo.c] [controls/widgets.c]
	  [if1632/wprocs.spec] [library/miscstubs.c] [windows/defdlg.c]
	  [misc/commdlg.c]
	Updated to work with 32-bit edit control.

Sat Jan  4 22:07:27 1997  O.Flebbe  <O.Flebbe@science-computing.uni-tuebingen.de>

	* [loader/pe_image.c]

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).
