Just FYI: I installed the most recent version of Wine (Wine-971130 from sunsite). And despite one quirk in memory/virtual.c where I had to get acoross the fact that FreeBSD doesn't do synchronuous memory syncs (Linux: <asm/mman.h>) I was able to throw it at my C:\WIN95 directory. I ran wine progman and voila, my Win95 desktop appeared neatly sorted in progman program groups. The fonts and the colors/hatching/dithering a bit strange though. Now, the big success: Freecell works! So, no more need to boot a Win95/NT System :-) Kidding aside, a lot of 32 bit apps do not work since so many functions of the 32 bit API if any at all are unimplemented but they seem on a good trip to there. What I'm concerned about though is the fact of this unimplemented MS_SYNC feature. That's why I'm cross posting this to -hackers also. -- Chris Christoph P. U. Kukulies kuku@gil.physik.rwth-aachen.de
