           Summary: Calling CreateFile() with a mailslot broadcast name
                    fails...
           Product: Wine
           Version: CVS
          Platform: Other
               URL: http://www.emtec.com/macrophone
        OS/Version: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: major
          Priority: P2
         Component: wine-binary
        AssignedTo: wine-bugs at winehq.org
        ReportedBy: m.goemmel at compulab.de


Our client/server application MacroPhone uses Mailslots to broadcast some
information from the clients to the server. To broadcast a message, we are using
::CreateFile() with a mailslot name "\\*\\MAILSLOT\\MPHONSR4", which constantly
fails. Looking into the source reveals that a "open_mailslot" command is sent to
the server, which returns with some kind of "file not found". This is maybe the
correct handling for local mailslots, but propably not for a * in the mailslot
name which stands for broadcasting.

Please let me know if more information is needed...

Thanks

Markus
