Right.  But WINE will implement other DLLs after enough demand is created.

>Who said they are not? Show some bugs or don't state something you do not know
anything about!
This bug.  The one that got closed.  Notice how without a copy of Windows, this
seemingly non-windows related set of libraries (which from the number of bugs
that are dupes of this must obviously not be important) is essentially
impossible to use?
If the installation for Supreme Commander (in my case) doesn't install them, how
would I otherwise get these libraries?  The installation succeeded, yet somehow
it still doesn't work?!  Hmm...  I know this might make you angry, but obviously
this game and many others don't see fit to include these non-essential DLLs.

I think you might need to review your stance on these libraries as more issues
continue to pour in.  I mean, with this mentality, why don't you just make Wine
a bug repository where you tell everyone to copy ALL of Windows over to run
Windows?  Comical...

As far as not knowing anything about this, please reserve your unsolicited
opinion for park bench mumblings.  If this frustrates you so much, perhaps you
should be replaced.  So far, I've found you to be quite biting, and not a very
good diplomat, again an essential quality of a QA individual (go on and ask me
how and why I know that, I dare you.)

> You are welcome to send patches that will close those "loose ends".

Oh how very kind of you to suggest that.  You're so witty!

Yes, I might submit one amendment to the documentation distributed with Wine and
perhaps it's license: You will be summarily insulted, tarred and feathered on
our bug site, please don't submit bugs because even though we're open source &
offer a bug site, we prefer to reap none of the benefits of such.



The least you could do is provide some links in this issue to instances of the
libraries working and ways people who DON'T have windows can obtain them.  (and
if they can't, then why aren't they being implemented?!?!?)
