Presumably, it's a vacation.  I'm on vacation in Wisconsin ATM, and 
having a blast.  It's amusing that, for Alexandre, a vacation means 
getting away from wine, whereas for me, a vacation means I can finally 
devote my attention to it :)

Anyhow, I plan to hold back on submitting "official" patches for the 
moment, since Alexandre's queue looks quite large already, although I 
may post my work to wine-devel once it reaches a stable state.  As 
usual, I may need some guidance :(

I've been working on tests for rpcrt4.dll.  Some interesting things have 
come up, which I'll be adressing later once I have a full list of 
problems I encountered (the good news is that nothing insurmountable 
has come up so far).

As for cabinet.dll, I'm unable to run my normal testing regimen, which 
requires broadband, and I have only very slow modem connectivity here 
in the middle of nowhere.  So, I plan to whip up a test for this as 
well (again there may be some issues that come up...), which will allow 
me to make changes without fear of massive breakage.

Have a good new year!  I hope everyone is having a good time and getting 
some much-deserved R&R.

Perhaps it's always been this way, and I'm just impressed because I am a 
newcomer, but 2002 seems to have been a superbly productive year for 
wine, so congrats and thanks to everyone for all the hard work and 
smart thinking!

My new years resolution is to keep plugging away at rpcrt4.dll and 
rpcss.exe, and to read up lots on COM/DCOM internals so that I can 
build the right bridges that eventually, these parts of wine might 
actually become useful in conjunction with wine's COM implementation.

Signing off to go consume the /other/ kind of wine during the last 
moments of 2002...
