Alexandre Julliard 59730ae1c6 Release 960324
Sun Mar 24 13:13:11 1996  Alexandre Julliard  <julliard@lrc.epfl.ch>

	* [include/win.h] [windows/*.c]
	Replaced next, parent, child and owner handles by pointers in WND
	structure. This should improve performance, and should be
	reasonably safe since Microsoft did the same in Win95.

	* [include/wintypes.h] [*/*]
	Redefined HANDLE to be UINT instead of a pointer for Winelib. This
	allows removing a lot of unnecessary casts and NPFMTs.

	* [windows/caret.c]
	Create the caret brush upon CreateCaret(); use the bitmap
	dimensions for the caret.
	Fixed CARET_DisplayCaret() to use PatBlt().

Fri Mar 22 16:00:00 1996  Anand Kumria <akumria@ozemail.com.au>

	* [misc/winsocket.c]
	More sanity checks, fixup some erroneous return codes.

	* [documentation/winsock]
	Description of how compatible the winsock is currently.

Fri Mar 22 13:05:34 1996  Ulrich Schmid  <uschmid@mail.hh.provi.de>

	* [library/winmain.c]
	Set `lpszCmdParam' by concatenating arguments.

	* [loader/module.c]
	WinExec: accept Unix commands, use Wine emulator.

Mon Mar 18 12:16:27 1996  Martin von Loewis <loewis@informatik.hu-berlin.de>

	* [if1632/kernel32.spec][win32/thread.c][include/kernel32.h]
	DeleteCriticalSection, EnterCriticalSection,
 	InitializeCriticalSection, LeaveCriticalSection, TlsAlloc,
 	TlsFree, TlsGetValue, TlsSetValue: new functions.
	CRITICAL_SECTION: new structure.

	* [if1632/kernel32.spec][win32/code_page.c]
	WideCharToMultiByte: new function.

 	FreeEnvironmentStringsW: new functions.
	
	* [if1632/user.spec][win32/cursoricon32.c][win32/Makefile.in]
	cursoricon32.c: new file.
	LoadCursorA, LoadCursorW: modified implementation from LoadCursor
 	to WIN32_*.
	LoadIconA, LoadIconW: modified implementation from LoadIconA32
	to WIN32_*.

	* [include/struct32.h]
	pragma pack inserted.
	CURSORICON32 structures added.

	* [include/winnls.h]
	Constants CP_* and WC_* added.

	* [loader/pe_image.c]
	PE_LoadModule: call PE_InitDLL with hModule rather than wpnt.

	* [misc/commdlg.c]
	Introduced hook function handling in file dialog.

Thu Mar 14 10:50:00 1996  Thomas Sandford <t.d.g.sandford@prds-grn.demon.co.uk>

	* [if1632/gdi32.spec]

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 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.
