	* [Configure]
	Added compile-time option for IPC.

	* [configure.in]
	Added command-line options for language, IPC and malloc
	debugging.

	* [controls/menu.c]
	WM_MENUSELECT was sometimes sent to the wrong window.

	* [debugger/break.c]
	For the 'next' command, only step over instruction that require
	it. This allows 'next' to do the right thing with jmp and ret
	instructions.

	* [ipc/*.c] [memory/atom.c] [memory/global.c]
	IPC can now be configured out at compile-time.

	* [loader/task.c]
	Bug fix in TASK_Reschedule() that could cause a task to be deleted
	twice.

	* [miscemu/dosmem.c] (New file)
	Partial emulation of the BIOS data segment.

	* [miscemu/instr.c]
	Trap attempts to access selector 0x40 and remap the access to
	segment __0040H.

	* [tools/build.c]
	Fixed bug in CallTo32_LargeStack() that caused problems when
	compiling Wine with the -fomit-frame-pointer option.

	* [windows/message.c]
	Fixed bug in hardware event handling that could cause some events
	to get ignored.

Sat Aug 26 13:12:59 IST 1995 Michael Veksler <mveksler@vnet.ibm.com>

	* [ipc/README] [ipc/dde.tex]
	LaTeX documentation for the ipc and DDE stuff.

Wed Aug 23 22:01:23 GMT 1995 Michael Veksler <mveksler@vnet.ibm.com>

	* [ipc/Imakefile] [ipc/wine_test_stub.c]
	Fixed IPC testing. Now it can be compiled with "make tests"

Wed Aug 23 21:04:14 1995  Fons Botman  <botman@wab-tis.rabobank.nl>

	* [if1632/kernel.spec] [include/windows.h] [misc/main.c]
	Added GetWinDebugInfo/SetWinDebugInfo stub for player.exe

Sun Aug  20 13:49:42 1995  Marcus Meissner  <msmeissn@faui01.informatik.uni-erlangen.de>

	* [miscemu/int21.c]
	Misc fix to int21,ah=40 (write) to match _lwrite().
	AX=0x440A (check if handle is remote) added.

	* [multimedia/mmsystem.c]
	Moved mciSendString to mcistring.c.

	* [multimedia/mcistring.c]
	New file, string interface for MCI (not complete, not thoroughly
	tested).

	* [multimedia/audio.c]
	IOCTL prints errors; one paranoid check disabled.

	* [misc/file.c]
	Misc operator precedence fixes.

	* [if1632/gdi.spec] [objects/bitblt.c]
	Stub for FastWindowFrame (parameters not correct).

Sat Aug 19 01:31:23 1995  Graham Menhennitt <gfm@werple.mira.net.au>

	* [loader/ne_image.c]
	Preliminary support for iterated segments.

Sat Aug 19 00:43:04 1995  Andrew Taylor  (andrew@riscan.com)

	* [windows/mapping.c]
	In function MAPPING_FixIsotropic(), VportExt[XY] is multiplied by
 	the absolute value of (ydim / xdim) or (xdim / ydim).

Thu Aug 15 23:00:16  Gregory Trubetskoy  <grisha@mira.com>

	* [objects/oembitmap.c]
	Added some includes for Windows 95.

	* [include/sysmetrics.h]
	Added some sysmetrics for Windows 95.

	* [include/bitmaps/*95]
	New files: obm_close_95, obm_closed_95, obm_reduce_95, obm_reduced_95
	obm_zoom_95, obm_zoomd_95 - these are some pixmaps for Windows 95.

DDE support for Wine
====================
Wine emulator is able to run MS-Windows 3.1 applications under Linux
(Linux is a UNIX clone) . Wine is also a toolkit allowing MS-Windows
applications to compile under Linux. Wine is a world-wide Internet
project with more than 20 developers. Wine is still under development
so many vital MS-Windows features are still missing.
DDE is Dynamic Data Exchange used for communication between MS-Windows
applications. This project adds DDE capabilities into Wine. The new
improved Wine will be able to send messages and share memory between
two different Wine processes.
This project uses System-V IPC mechanisms to implement DDE.
Besides sharing memory handles and sending DDE messages, Wine processes
are synchronize to emulates MS-Windows non-preemptive task switching.
(MS-Windows switches tasks only on given instructions). This is done
without hurting the performance or stability of a single Wine process.
The project adds DDE to Wine emulator and to the toolkit. This allows
old MS-Windows applications to be compiled for UNIX, and have DDE
working among them.
