	* [win32/device.c] [relay32/kernel32.spec] [scheduler/k32obj.c]
	  [misc/registry.c] [win32/file.c]
	Partially implemented VxDCall (VMM registry services).

	* [files/dos_fs.c]
	DOSFS_FindNext made thread-safe.

	* [include/sig_context.h] [include/syslevel.h] [loader/signal.c]
	  [scheduler/syslevel.c] [tools/build.c]
	Replaced CALLTO16_Current_fs by SYSLEVEL_Win16CurrentTeb.

	* [win32/kernel32.c]
	Bugfix: QT_Thunk/FT_Thunk should return 'long' in DX:AX, not EAX.

	* [if1632/relay.c] [relay32/builtin32.c] [windows/msgbox.c]
	  [msdos/int20.c] [msdos/int21.c]
	Use ExitProcess instead of TASK_KillCurrentTask.

	  [scheduler/thread.c] [include/queue.h] [windows/message.c] 
	  [windows/queue.c] [windows/win.c]
	Prevent Win32 threads from entering the TASK_Reschedule loop.
	(Note: Win32 messaging still doesn't work correctly; this patch
	is just preventing the system from crashing when Win32 threads
	call messaging functions. Messages will probably still get lost.)

	* [scheduler/critsection.c]
	Deactivated the use of SEM_UNDO for the SYSTEM_LOCK semaphore;
	for some reason, this leads to problems after threads terminate... 

Sat Aug 22 15:00:00 1998  Jürgen Schmied <juergen.schmied@metronet.de>

	* [include/authors.h]
	New file, includes all names of the developer (former shell.c)

	Created dlls/shell32 and moved the shell32 stuff in it.
	Started to create internal resources.

	* [dlls/shell32/*]
	Split the shell32 implementation into smaller files.
	New classes: IContextMenu, IExtractIcon, IShellView.

	shell32 links to comctl32 now dynamically so it can use
	internal/external implementations.

	* [documentation/internal-dll] [documentation/shell32]
	New, could anybody do a spellcheck?

	* [include/commctrl.h]
	Many new LV constants, structures, functions.

	Fixed file handle handling.  Created universal HFILE16 to HFILE32
	translation macro from msdos/int21 code by Ove Kaaven.
	Used macro in all Win16 functions so that win32 handles are translated
	to avoid DOS/Win16 stdxx handles.
	Removed handle translation from int21.c where Win16 functions are
	called.  Changed remaining calls to use new macro names.
	Documented filehandle handling and differences between win 16 & 32.

	* [multimedia/mmio.c] [multimedia/mmsystem.c]
	Fixed most mmio bugs, fully implementing mmioSetBuffer
	buffering, ability to read memory files, and the

	now work fine.

	* [include/dosexe.h] [include/miscemu.h] [include/module.h]
	  [loader/module.c] [loader/task.c] [msdos/dosmem.c]

	* [msdos/int21.c]
	Made "Get Current PSP address" work as expected in a DOS VM.

	* [loader/dos/*]
	Began improving flexibility and portability somewhat. It

	Added the undocumented HIWORD of GetModuleHandle (hFirstModule).

	* [loader/ne/segment.c]
	Wine forgot to set some NE_SEGFLAGS_*.
	Combined with another loader change, this fixed the
	"BLINKER -- error in loading module" or ghost MessageBox problem
	that about 1% of all Windows programs have.
	Some BLINKER programs still don't work, though.
	But I'm working on it, with great help from Blinkinc.

	* [loader/task.c]
	InitTask needs to decrement the SP register by two as Win95 does.

Wine Postscript Driver
======================

When complete this will allow Wine to generate Postscript files without needing
an external printer driver. It should be possible to print to a non Postscript
printer by filtering the output through ghostscript.


Installation
------------

At the moment the driver will only work for 16 bit apps, the move to 32 bit
should be quite easy, I'd just like to improve it first. The driver behaves as
if it were a DRV file called WINEPS.DRV . To install it as the default printer
driver add

device=Wine Postscript Driver,WINEPS,LPT1:

to the [windows] section of win.ini . You may prefer to add

Wine Postscript Driver=WINEPS,LPT1:

to the [devices] section of win.ini instead.

You will need Adobe Font Metric (AFM) files for the (type 1 Postscript) fonts
that you wish to use. You can get these from

ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/type/win/all/afmfiles . The directories base17 or
base35 are good places to start.

Note that these are only the font metrics and not the fonts themselves. At
present the driver does not download additional fonts, so you can only use
fonts that are already present on the printer.

Then create a [afmfiles] section in your wine.conf (or ~/.winerc) and add a
line of the form

file=/unix/path/name/filename.afm

for each AFM file that you wish to use. [This might change in the future]

You also require a ppd file for your printer. This describes certain
characteristics of the printer such as which fonts are installed, how to select
manual feed etc. Adobe also has many of these on its website, have a look in
ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/printerdrivers/win/all/
Put the ppd in the directory from which you start wine and call it default.ppd
[this will definitely change soon].

Note that you need not set printer=on in the [wine] section of wine.conf, this
enables printing via external printer drivers and does not affect wineps.

If you're lucky you should now be able to produce PS files from Wine!

I've tested it with win3.1 notepad/write, Winword6 and Origin4.0 with some
degree of success - you should be able to get something out, it may not be in
the right place.

TODO / Bugs
-----------

Driver does read PPD files, but ignores all constraints and doesn't let you
specify whether you have optional extras such as envelope feeders. You will
therefore find a larger than normal selection of input bins in the print setup
dialog box. I've only really tested ppd parsing on the hp4m6_v1.ppd file.

Landscape mode probably doesn't quite work yet (this is easy to fix).

Graphics are basically non-existent. Only MoveTo/LineTo/Rectangle with a thin
black pen.

No colour.

AFM parsing is not finished (or ideal).

No TrueType download.

Many partially implemented functions.

ps.c is becoming messy.

Probably many more...

Since the driver is very alpha, things are likely to change quickly.
Please contact me if you want to help so that we can avoid duplication.
