Sun Feb  2 12:31:03 1997  Alexandre Julliard  <julliard@lrc.epfl.ch>

	* [files/drive.c]
	Fixed SetCurrentDirectory() to also change the current drive.

	* [win32/except.c] [tools/build.c]
	Use Win32 register functions to implement exception handling.
	Fixed UnhandledExceptionFilter.

Fri Jan 31 15:42:41  1997  David Faure  <david.faure@ihamy.insa-lyon.fr>

	* [windows/keyboard.c]
	Added KEYBOARD_GenerateMsg to generate Caps Lock and NumLock events
	Added calls to KEYBOARD_GenerateMsg when the key is pressed/released
	or when the state has changed, out of wine.
	Changed type 3-state 'ToggleKeyState' to boolean. The On/Off is given
	by InputKeyStateTable.

Wed Jan 29 21:53:04 1997  Marcus Meissner <msmeissn@cip.informatik.uni-erlangen.de>

	* [loader/*resource.c][if1632/thunk.c]
	EnumResource* added.

	* [loader/pe_resource.] [loader/resource.c]
	SizeofResource32(), LoadAccelerators32() added.

	* [misc/lstr.c]
	FormatMessage %n added.

	* [misc/crtdll.c][include/ctrdll.h][if1632/crtdll.spec]
	_chdrive,_errno,_isctype added.

	* [misc/cpu.c]
	Replaced runtime_cpu by GetSystemInfo().

	* [windows/hook.c][include/hook.h]
	Fixed mapping of hooks to win32/unicode.

	* [windows/keyboard.c] [windows/defwnd.c]
	Updated to win32 standard.
	ALT-<Menukey> fixed.

	* [windows/queue.c]
	GetWindowThreadProcessId() implemented.

Mon Jan 27 16:42:49 1997  John Harvey <john@division.co.uk>

	* [graphics/metafiledrv/*] [graphics/x11drv/*]
	  [objects/bitmap.c] [objects/brush.c] [objects/font.c]
	  [objects/gdiobj.c] [objects/pen.c]
	Moved SelectObject to graphics drivers. Printer support now works
	in a few cases but is definitely not complete. Generic/text driver
	works. The postscript driver works if true type fonts are disabled
	from the control panel. To enable printer support add Printer=on
	to the wine section of your wine.conf file. This causes write not
	to work properly. I know that several other printer drivers do not
	work.

	* [tools/build.c]
	Make .stabs not used for svr4 since it doesn't use GNU assembler.

	* [misc/fontengine.c]
	Make sure a printf doesn't crash the system.

Sat Jan 25 15:53:35 1997  Huw D M Davies <h.davies1@physics.oxford.ac.uk>

	* [objects/metafile.c]
	Fixed some problems with PlayMetaFileRecord().

	* [objects/dc.c]
	hClipRgn gets initialized in GetDCState().

Fri Jan 24 21:22:26 1997  Philippe De Muyter  <phdm@info.ucl.ac.be>

	* [debugger/stabs.c]
	Handle file names beginning with '/'.

Fri Jan 24 18:33:04 1997  Robert Pouliot <krynos@clic.net>

	* [*/*]
	Some more patches for OS/2 support.

Fri Jan 24 11:30:41 1997  Bang Jun-Young  <bangjy@nownuri.nowcom.co.kr>

	* [resources/sysres_Ko.rc]
	Updated support for Korean (Ko) language.

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

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".
The executable "wine" will be built.  "wine" will load and run 16-bit
Windows executables.

To build Winelib, do a "./configure --with-library", and then a "make
depend; make". The library "winelib.a" will be built, allowing to
compile Windows source code under Unix. If you have an ELF compiler,
you can use "./configure --with-dll" instead to build a shared library.

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.


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.

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.
