Sun Nov  6 18:52:04 1994  Alexandre Julliard  (julliard@lamisun.epfl.ch)

	* [objects/oembitmap.c]  (New file)
	Added possibility to use .xpm files for OEM bitmaps.

	* [include/bitmaps/obm*]  (New files)
	Redrawn all OEM bitmaps in xpm format.

	* [objects/font.c]
	Add space for internal leading when using a negative font height.
	Stubs for AddFontResource() and RemoveFontResource().
	Fix in FONT_Init() for uninitialised default font.

	* [windows/dialog.c]
	Make font height negative as it is really a point size and not a
	pixel size; dialogs using 8-point fonts look better now.

	* [windows/graphics.c]
	Fixed the fix :-) for Pie() to make it work for Arc() and Chord() also.

	* [windows/nonclient.c]
	A few changes for new OEM bitmaps.

Sun Nov  6 18:22:18 1994  Michael Patra  <micky@marie.physik.tu-berlin.de>

	* [windows/class.c]
	The names of local classes have to be stored using GlobalAtom*.
	Otherwise they couldn't be accessed from other modules (e.g. BWCC) 

	* [if1632/call.S]
	CallTo16(cx): It's possible to set the contents of the cx-register.

	* [loader/ne_image.c]
	InitNEDLL(): The size of the local heap is now passed in the cx-
	register when initializing a DLL.

	* [memory/heap.c]
	LocalInit(): The case start==0 is now handled in the way it should.

	* [windows/win.c]
	GetWindowLong(): If the adress of the windows function is requested
	it's no longer returned if it's within the Wine code (and therefore
	unreachable by a windows program). This makes Borland's OWL happy.

	* [controls/edit.c]
	EDIT_GetStr(): Added handling for off<0.

Sun Nov  6 17:37:14 1994  Chris Jones  <chrisj@ichips.intel.com>

	* [loader/library.c]
	Fixed infinite loop bug when two DLLs refer to each other (fixes
	hangup of Quicken during loading).

Thu Nov 04 12:00:00 1994  Jan Willamowius  (jan@janhh.sh.sub.de)

	* [misc/dos_fs.c]
	Bug fix: The size of a disk an the available space
	is now returned in bytes instead of (incorrectly)
	KBytes.

Thu Nov 03 12:00:00 1994  Jan Willamowius  (jan@janhh.sh.sub.de)

	* [windows/graphics.c]
	Bug fix: Pie segments are now filled with correct brush.

Thu Nov  3 10:40:09 1994  Martin von Loewis  (martin@cs.csufresno.edu)

        * [Imakefile]
        generate rc.o before loader.o

        * [controls/menu.c]
        CopySysMenu: generate SYSMENU on the fly, eliminate hSysMenu

        * [include/resource.h]
        Add struct ResourceTable

        * [loader/bitmap.h]
        Load system bitmaps from sysresbmTable

        * [misc/clipboard.c]
          [windows/event.c]
        IsClipboardFormatAvailable,EVENT_SelectionRequest: bug fixes
        
        * [rc/Imakefile]
        generate rc.o from sysres.o and sysresbm.o. Added -lfl

        * [rc/rc.y]
        change style handling to allow ( S1 | S2 ) | S3

        * [rc/sysres.rc]
          [rc/sysresbm.rc]
        Put bitmaps and icons to sysresbm, everything else to sysres

        * [rc/winerc.c]
          [rc/winerc.h]
        Added -o, -c flags. New function set_out_file. Output to files.

        * [windows/dialog.c]
        DialogBoxIndirectPtr, DialogBoxIndirectParamPtr: New functions 

        * [windows/nonclient.c]
        Create AboutWine dialog from template pointer

This is winerc, the resource compiler for the Wine project. It takes the
same input as rc.exe, but generates C files as output. These C files can
be linked together with the application, which can access the resource
data directly instead of using FindResource/LoadResource/LockResource.
The generated C code contains arrays, which represent the resource as if
it was obtained from LoadResource. A table to map resource names to
pointers is also available.
Primary applications are the resources of sysres.dll and a future
commdlg.dll, but the use in the library version is possible as well.
The expected advantage of using winerc over sysres.dll is a speed
improvement, however, actual data to support that claim are not
available. The use of winerc might also simplifies the source code. For
example, the system menu is managed in the function CopySysMenu
(controls/menu.c). A winerc-based implementation would just call
	return LoadMenuIndirect(_Sysres_SYSMENU);
As the resources are already in the Wine image, they are loaded on
demand as any other part of a Unix executable image. 

Current State
This is the first release of winerc. It is alpha software, as the rest
of Wine is. If you use it for replacing sysres.dll, or if you write
other parts of Wine which require resource (like commdlg), you will
probably notice a loss in stability. This is especially true for cursor
and icon resources, as they are unlikely to work at all. See the TODO
file for details.

Copying
The license for Wine applies for winerc as well. Read the files LICENSE
and WARRANTY in the current or any future distribution for details. You
can change any source files, and you can add your own copyright notice,
as long as you leave the existing copyrights intact.

Bug Reports and Fixes
If you find a bug in winerc, you can report it to me,
martin@cs.csufresno.edu (Martin von Loewis)
or to comp.emulators.ms-windows.wine. If you can fix the bug, send the
diffs & ChangeLog to wine-new@amscons.com (Bob Amstadt), or send it to
me, and I will collect the fixes and forward them to wine-news.
