Winhelp - Derive 6

[felix at derklecks.de]

Hi,

I have been trying to get the Winhelp to work for weeks now.  But I just do not
have any success.

Derive is using winhelp with an extension RoboEx32 [1]. Derive reports "could
not open help" and on the console I see following:

# wine ~/.wine/drive_c/Programme/TI\ Education/Derive\ 6/Derive6.exe
err:winhelp:HLPFILE_Uncompress3 buffer overflow (0x4169c3f9 > 0x4169c3f5)

fixme:winhelp:HLPFILE_AddParagraph Got an embedded element RoboEx32.dll,
WinHelp2000,

fixme:winhelp:WHD_OpenBag (0xffffffff |SYSTEM 2)
fixme:winhelp:WHD_API ()
fixme:winhelp:MACRO_Search ()
fixme:winhelp:WHD_Close (0xffffffff)

Is winhelp supposed to be able to handle these help files?  It is listed in the
appdb as gold-supported.

There are several other errors I see using derive, but I will have to do some
more research.  An easy bug is probably that the user just gets a black window
after clicking on "about wine".

Do you need any other information?
