1. COMPILATION:

You must have one of:

	Linux version 0.99.13 or above
	NetBSD-current
	FreeBSD-current or FreeBSD 1.1

To build Wine, first do a "./Configure" and then a "make".  The
executable "wine" will be built.  "wine" will load and run 16-bit
Windows' executables. 



2. SETUP:

Wine requires you to have a file /usr/local/etc/wine.conf (you can
supply a different name when configuring wine) or a file called .winerc
in your homedirectory.

The formatstyle of this config file is just like a windows .ini file.

Here's an explanation of each section:

* [drives]

format: <driveletter> = <rootdirectory>
default: none

This section is used to specify the root directory of each `dos'drive 
as windows' applications require a dos/mswindows based diskdrive & 
directory scheme. 

If you mounted you dos-partition as /dos and installed microsoft windows 
in c:\windows than you should specify c=/dos in the drives section.

* [wine]

format: windows = <directory>
default: c:\windows

Used to specify an different windows directory.

format: system = <directory>
default: c:\windows\system

Used to specify an different system directory.

format: temp = <directory>
default: c:\temp

Used to specify a directory where windows applications can store temporary
files.

format: path = <directories separated by semi-colons>
default: c:\windows;c:\windows\system

Used to specify the path which will be used to find executables and DLL's.

format: systemresources = <filename>
default: c:\temp

Used to specify the name of sysres.dll, a dll which is used by wine itself.

* [serialports]

format: com[12345678] = <devicename>
default: none

Used to specify the devices which are used as com1 - com8.

* [parallelports]

format: lpt[12345678] = <devicename>
default: none

Used to specify the devices which are used as lpt1 - lpt8.

* [spy]

format: file = <filename or CON when logging to stdout>
default: none

used to specify the file which will be used as logfile.

format: exclude = <message names separated by semicolons>
default: none

Used to specify which messages will be excluded from the logfile.

format: include = <message names separated by semicolons>
default: none

Used to specify which messages will be included in the logfile.



3. RUNNING PROGRAMS

When invoking wine, you must specify the entire path to the executable,
or a filename only.

For example: to run Windows' solitaire:

	wine sol		   (using the searchpath to locate the file)
	wine sol.exe

	wine c:\\windows\\sol.exe  (using a dosfilename)

	wine /usr/windows/sol.exe  (using a unixfilename)

note: the path of the file will also be added to the path when
      a full name is supplied on the commandline.

Have a nice game of solitaire, but be careful.  Emulation isn't perfect.
So, occassionally it will crash.

    - Memory DC's

WHAT'S NEW with version 0.2.1:
    - I have placed things into sub-directories.  The organization is
      not finalized.  I imagine that the directory structure will
      change as is necessary.  Files in the ./misc directory need
      to be split apart and placed in apropriate directories.
    - Tons of code from Alexandre.  He has constructed the framework
      for handling GDI objects.  He has also provided code for DCEs.
    - Local heap functions have been completed.
    - Bug fixes in global.c and win.c
    - New function GlobalQuickAlloc() combines GlobalAlloc() and
      GlobalLock() into a single function call.
    - New patch kit for Linux 0.99 pl11 kernel.  Thanks to Linus
      who has graciously included our patches into the ALPHA patch
      release cycle.

WHAT'S NEW with version 0.2.0:
    - Alexandre Julliard has provided a replacement for the Tcl code.
      The new code uses Xlib and Xt directly with no intervening
      interpretted language.  This should reduce the learning
      curve for casual hackers.
    - I changed all GLOBAL_ names to Global.

WHAT'S NEW with version 0.1.1:
    - I have completed global memory allocation, but I don't like it.
      It is not 100% compatible with Windows.  I need some more kernel
      modifications for 100% compatibility.
    - Alexandre Julliard has provided written better emulation for
      the Windows message queue.

WHAT'S NEW with version 0.1.0:
    - Latest patches from Alexandre Julliard.
    - minor bug fix in if1632.S

WHAT'S NEW with version 0.0.5:
    - Patches from Alexandre Julliard.  Some integration with Tcl.
    - Generic interface for callback procedures.  This will allow
      callbacks into DLLs.
    - MakeProcInstance() has been implemented but untested.

WHAT'S NEW with version 0.0.4:
    - Eric Youngdale modified wine.c and selector.c to allow loading
      of Windows DLLs.
    - Added global memory allocation routines (GlobalAlloc, GlobalFree,
      and GlobalLock)
    - Bitmap resource loading into global memory.

WHAT'S NEW with version 0.0.3:
    - Fixed bug with sector sizes.
    - Registers at program startup are now set correctly.
    - Segment fixups for relocatable-segment internal entry points.
    - Fixed bug in DOS PSP structure.
    - Some resource loading is done.
    - Added "return" ordinal type to build program.
    - Added comment capability to build program.

WHAT'S NEW with version 0.0.2:

    - Again thanks to Eric Youngdale for some very useful comments.
    - The Windows startup code created by Micrsoft C 7.0 now runs 
      to completion.
    - Added a new patch to the kernel to increase the usable size of
      the ldt to the full 32 entries currently allowed.
    - Imported name relocations are now supported.
    - Source code for my infamous test program is now included.
    - A handful of basic Windows functions are now emulated.  See
      "kernel.spec" for examples of how to use the build program.

WHAT'S NEW with version 0.0.1:

    - Eric Youngdale contributed countless improvements in memory
      efficiency, bug fixes, and relocation.
    - The build program has been completed.  It now lets you specify
      how the main DLL entry point should interface to your emulation
      library routines.  A brief description of how to build these
      specifications is included in the file "build-spec.txt".
    - The code to dispatch builtin DLL calls is complete, but untested.
