    NetBSD:
    
        If you use BSD make rather than GNU make, you must apply the patches
    in the file "bsdmake.patch".  This release requires NetBSD 0.9 with
    additional patches.

    To build Wine, first do a "make depend" and then a "make".  The
    executable "wine" will be built.

    Grab a copy of Windows sol.exe (Solitaire) and run it with the command:
    
    	wine sol.exe
    
    Have a nice game of solitaire, but be careful.  Emulation isn't perfect.
    So, occassionally it will crash.

    	- Wine now compiles and runs under NetBSD.  Patches are
    	  required for NetBSD.
    	- Wine stat patches included.  Add "-DWINESTAT" to the definition
    	  of COPTS in the main Makefile to activate.
    	- Preliminary keyboard handling.
    	- Button control window implemented.
    	- many other new functions added.
    
    WHAT'S NEW with version 0.3.1: (see ChangeLog for details)

    	- Bug fixes and GetProcAddress() stub from me
    
    WHAT'S NEW with version 0.2.7: (see ChangeLog for details)
        - sol.exe gets further.  I did some debugging and now solitaire
          stops when it tries to call GetTextExtent().  Any volunteers?
        - Many DC updates from Alexandre.
        - Menu updates to support underlining characters from David Metcalfe.

    WHAT'S NEW with version 0.2.2: (see ChangeLog for details)
        - Misc bug fixes
        - More bitmap code
        - Timers
        - 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 0.0.5:
        - 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.

    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.
    
    TODO:
    
        - Segment fixup code completion.
        - Trap and handle DOS and DPMI calls.
