9 Uncompress and untar this archive into the directory of your
10 choice. This release requires a Linux version 0.99 pl13 kernel
15 If you use BSD make rather than GNU make, you must apply the patches
16 in the file "bsdmake.patch". This release requires NetBSD-current.
20 To build Wine, first do a "make depend" and then a "make". The
21 executable "wine" will be built. "wine" will load and run Windows'
22 executables. You must specify the entire path to the executable,
23 have the executable in the current directory, or specify a load
24 path with environment variable WINEPATH.
26 For example, to run Windows' solitaire:
28 export WINEPATH=/dos/windows;/dos/windows/system
31 Have a nice game of solitaire, but be careful. Emulation isn't perfect.
32 So, occassionally it will crash.

126 WHAT'S NEW with version 0.2.2: (see ChangeLog for details)
132 WHAT'S NEW with version 0.2.1:
133 - I have placed things into sub-directories. The organization is
134 not finalized. I imagine that the directory structure will
135 change as is necessary. Files in the ./misc directory need
136 to be split apart and placed in apropriate directories.
137 - Tons of code from Alexandre. He has constructed the framework
138 for handling GDI objects. He has also provided code for DCEs.
139 - Local heap functions have been completed.
140 - Bug fixes in global.c and win.c
141 - New function GlobalQuickAlloc() combines GlobalAlloc() and
142 GlobalLock() into a single function call.
143 - New patch kit for Linux 0.99 pl11 kernel. Thanks to Linus
144 who has graciously included our patches into the ALPHA patch
147 WHAT'S NEW with version 0.2.0:
148 - Alexandre Julliard has provided a replacement for the Tcl code.
149 The new code uses Xlib and Xt directly with no intervening
150 interpretted language. This should reduce the learning
151 curve for casual hackers.
152 - I changed all GLOBAL_ names to Global.
154 WHAT'S NEW with version 0.1.1:
155 - I have completed global memory allocation, but I don't like it.
156 It is not 100% compatible with Windows. I need some more kernel
157 modifications for 100% compatibility.
158 - Alexandre Julliard has provided written better emulation for
159 the Windows message queue.
161 WHAT'S NEW with version 0.1.0:
162 - Latest patches from Alexandre Julliard.
163 - minor bug fix in if1632.S
165 WHAT'S NEW with version 0.0.5:
166 - Patches from Alexandre Julliard. Some integration with Tcl.
167 - Generic interface for callback procedures. This will allow
169 - MakeProcInstance() has been implemented but untested.
171 WHAT'S NEW with version 0.0.4:
172 - Eric Youngdale modified wine.c and selector.c to allow loading
174 - Added global memory allocation routines (GlobalAlloc, GlobalFree,
176 - Bitmap resource loading into global memory.
178 WHAT'S NEW with version 0.0.3:
179 - Fixed bug with sector sizes.
180 - Registers at program startup are now set correctly.
181 - Segment fixups for relocatable-segment internal entry points.
182 - Fixed bug in DOS PSP structure.
183 - Some resource loading is done.
184 - Added "return" ordinal type to build program.
185 - Added comment capability to build program.
187 WHAT'S NEW with version 0.0.2:
189 - Again thanks to Eric Youngdale for some very useful comments.
190 - The Windows startup code created by Micrsoft C 7.0 now runs
192 - Added a new patch to the kernel to increase the usable size of
193 the ldt to the full 32 entries currently allowed.
194 - Imported name relocations are now supported.
195 - Source code for my infamous test program is now included.
196 - A handful of basic Windows functions are now emulated. See
197 "kernel.spec" for examples of how to use the build program.
199 WHAT'S NEW with version 0.0.1:
201 - Eric Youngdale contributed countless improvements in memory
202 efficiency, bug fixes, and relocation.
203 - The build program has been completed. It now lets you specify
204 how the main DLL entry point should interface to your emulation
205 library routines. A brief description of how to build these
206 specifications is included in the file "build-spec.txt".
207 - The code to dispatch builtin DLL calls is complete, but untested.
211 - Segment fixup code completion.
212 - Trap and handle DOS and DPMI calls.
213 - GlobalAlloc of code segments.
214 - Rewrite global memory support including kernel mods to allow
215 application to mess with page map.
216 - Handle self-loading applications.
218 - Lots and lots of API fiunctions.
222 The documentation for the build program is in the file build-spec.txt
