I've gotten a lot of questions concerning Wine and FreeBSD 2.0R from by last post so I guess a general post is in order (but no answers on the sigaltstack question :-). Wine0302 (the latest version) will compile on FreeBSD 2.0R, the only hitch being the definition of the sigaltstack structure in FreeBSD (which differs in the FreeBSD manpage and in /usr/include/sys/signal.h!!) which can be fixed trivially in the Wine /loader/signal.c routine. Compatability with FreeBSD has gotten much better over the past rew releases and someone is obviously working hard on it. Wine will run some of the Windows applets. Solitaire works fine, despite a Windows "Out of memory" message at startup. Minesweeper works well, but Write eats up so much CPU that it darn near hange the system and Progman won't open the group files. Some of the dialog boxes come out scrambled as well. As a demo of what can be done with some clever programming, Wine is really nice. But it doesn't claim to be anything more that Alpha code and should be treated as such - don't expect to be running Word 6.0 any time soon! You can get Wine at sunsite.unc.edu in /pub/Linux/ALPHA/wine. John Lajoie Yale University Physics Department lajoie@yalph2.physics.yale.edu
