Implementation of "start.exe", take 3

Dan Kegel dank at kegel.com
Sat Jan 18 02:44:16 CST 2003


Changes since take 2:
* internationalized
* can be built with MSVC6.0; resulting .exe works in both Windows and Wine
* winelib app now installed by wineinstall
* winedefault.reg now has entries needed to make 'start foo.txt' work

Remaining issue I could use help with:
* multiline strings from resource file are displayed with extra newline
between lines in wine, but not in windows.  To reproduce, build
either as winelib app or build under MSVC6, then run in wine;
usage message comes out double-spaced.  Help!

I suspect it's worth submitting to wine-patches until that
issue is resolved.

Again, to those who are confused why I didn't just use cygstart,
cygstart's license seems to be an issue, and cygstart doesn't
implement one of the four options in the real Windows start.exe,
so I plowed ahead with my own version.  We can add options from
Cygstart later.
