	* [include/stackframe.h] [tools/build.c]
	Some cleanups in stack frame building.

	* [misc/port.c]
	Implemented clone() wrapper for libc5 users.

	* [scheduler/mutex.c] [scheduler/synchro.c]
	Implemented abandoned mutexes.

	* [scheduler/process.c] [scheduler/thread.c]
	We now create a process and a thread structure as soon as possible
	during initialization.

	* [scheduler/thread.c] [scheduler/sysdeps.c]
	Moved system-specific thread handling to sysdeps.c.

Fri Jan 16 10:45:15 1998  Marcus Meissner <msmeissn@cip.informatik.uni-erlangen.de>

	* [graphics/ddraw.c][include/ddraw.h]
	Surface handling enhanced. Some stuff already works ;)

	* [multimedia/dsound.c][include/dsound.h]
	Implemented using the Open Sound System.
	Slowly starts to work (sounds terrible for some programs).

	* [configure.in][multimedia/audio.c][include/config.h.in]
	Added check for OpenSoundSystem, fixed -lXxf86dga check.
	Replaced OS #ifdefs by #ifdef HAVE_OSS in mm/audio.c.

	* [if1632/relay.c][relay32/relay386.c]
	Do not print control characters for 'str' or 'wstr' args.

	* [misc/registry.c]
	"" seems to equals NULL in keynames. Replace where needed. Seems
	to help the win95 regedit.exe...

	* [win32/newfns.c]
	Implemented QueryPerformance* using gettimeofday(2)
	(should be done using the pentium timers probably).

	* [tools/ipcl]
	Removed useless open_pipe construct.

Sun Jan 11 17:10:02 1998  Huw D M Davies <h.davies1@physics.oxford.ac.uk>

	* [objects/region.c] [include/region.h] [graphics/x11drv/clipping.c]
	Regions are now internal to Wine. The basis of this code is taken
	from the X11 distribution. GetRegionData() is implemented as is 
	ExtCreateRegion() (without Xforms). CreatePolyPolygonRgn() should
	behave correctly now. 

	* [objects/metafile.c] [graphics/metafiledrv/graphics.c]
	  [graphics/metafiledrv/init.c] [include/metafile.h]
	  [include/metafiledrv.h]
	Playback of META_CREATEREGION should now work. Implemented recording
	of META_CREATEREGION and META_PAINTREGION.

	* [graphics/x11drv/graphics.c]
	FillRgn() (and therefore its friends) respect logical co-ords.

Wed Jan  7 01:21:45 1998  Steinar Hamre  <steinarh@stud.fim.ntnu.no>

	* [configure.in] [include/acconfig.h] [tools/build.c]
	Now checking whether to use .string or .ascii.

	* [configure.in] [include/acconfig.h] [scheduler/critsection.c]
	Defining union semun if this is not available from header files.

	* [misc/lstr.c]
	Moved wine's own header files below <wctype.h> to avoid
	parse error on Solaris.

Sun Jan  4 15:38:07 1998  Andrew Taylor <ataylor@cadvision.com>

	* [multimedia/mmsystem.c] [multimedia/mmio.c]
	Implemented mmioSendMessage and rearranged the mmio
	subsystem in terms of this function.

Wed Dec 24 00:51:29 1997  Charles Duffy <cduffy@bigfoot.com>

	* [windows/clipboard.c] [relay32/user32.spec]
	GetPriorityClipboardFormat32 now has something other than just
	a stub. I have no idea if it works (can't test until
	SetClipboardData is finished) but HEdit likes things a lot more
	this way.

History
1. INTRODUCTION

Wine is a program that allows running MS-Windows programs under X11.
It consists of a program loader, that loads and executes an
MS-Windows binary, and of an emulation library that translates Windows
API calls to their Unix/X11 equivalent.

Wine is free software. See the file LICENSE for the details.
Basically, you can do anything with it, except claim that you wrote it.


2. COMPILATION

You must have one of:

	Linux version 0.99.13 or above
	NetBSD-current
	FreeBSD-current or FreeBSD 1.1
	OpenBSD/i386 2.1 or later

You also need to have libXpm installed on your system. The sources for
it are probably available on the ftp site where you got Wine. They can
also be found on ftp.x.org and all its mirror sites.

To build Wine, first do a "./configure" and then a "make depend; make".
This will build the library "libwine.a" and the program "wine".

The program "wine" will load and run Windows executables.
The library "libwine.a" can be used to compile and link Windows source
code under Unix.  If you have an ELF compiler, you can use
"./configure --enable-dll" to build a shared library instead.

To upgrade to a new release by using a patch file, first cd to the
top-level directory of the release (the one containing this README
file). Then do a "make clean", and patch the release with:

    gunzip -c patch-file | patch -p1

where "patch-file" is the name of the patch file (something like
Wine-yymmdd.diff.gz). You can then re-run "./configure", and then
run "make depend; make".


3. SETUP

Once Wine has been built correctly, you can do "make install"; this
will install the wine executable and the man page.

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 home directory.

The format of this file is explained in the man page. The file
wine.ini contains a config file example.


4. 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, occasionally it may crash.

UPDATE: Windows 95 components are known to cause more crashes compared
        to the equivalent Windows 3.1 libraries.


5. GETTING MORE INFORMATION

The best place to get help or to report bugs is the Usenet newsgroup
comp.emulators.ms-windows.wine. The Wine FAQ is posted there every
month. Also, you may want to browse old messages on www.dejanews.com 
to check whether your problem is already fixed. 

If you add something, or fix a bug, please send a patch ('diff -u'
format preferred) to julliard@lrc.epfl.ch for inclusion in the next
release.
