This isn't quite clear to me. It sounds like you are saying there is a
riched20.dll in wine, but I can't find one. Are these statements
correct?

* Wine's only implements RichEdit10A via riched32.dll. Wine does not
implement RichEdit20A. 

* Win2K (and later) provides riched20.dll which implements
RICHEDIT_CLASS20A. This one I can verify as true on my winxp system.

* There are significant differences between the two window classes
 
My winelib app is hosting a 3rd party DLL which is specifically
requesting "RichEdit20A". That suggests that the DLL was built with
win2K or later, from what you were saying. Sounds like my options are
to:

* hack their request to use the window class registered by wine's
riched32.dll. How well could I expect this to work? How big are the
diffs between 10A and 20A?

* get them to provide win2k's riched20.dll

* have them change their DLL to ask for RichEdit10A instead

* implement riched20.dll in Wine. Sounds like a big job!

Sound right? Any comments? Thanks a bunch... mo
