Hi all,

thanks for the frenzy of activity on this one... wow!

Unfortunately I don't have time to test the patch at the moment.

I can, however, give a workaround that seems OK (based on some discussion on
this thread):

    cd ~/.wine/dosdevices

    ln -s / z\:

    ln -s /dev/zero z\:\:

(/dev/null was also suggested, but that gives an error an then fails).

With this in place, the open/save dialogues work for word2k adn excel2k.


Regarding testing this with notepad: wine-notepad and several other more complex
apps (Endnote and Origin) do not suffer from this problem. The common thing
about the apps that don't work is that they use the fancy Open/Save dialogue
that has the buttons for Home Desktop etc down the left, while the apps that do
work use the simpler (older/traditional) Open/Save dialogue. 

thanks, all!

Stuart
