Nope - don't know anything about it and never claimed I did.  It just seems to
me that SOMETHING in wine is intercepting this even with the replacement dll. 
Why?  Because the developer says it runs fine in Windows XP on up.  It
obviously doesn't work in wine.  So again it comes back to the message about
the call to get the pallette - which I do know actually contains all kinds of
information about the image - fails on type 3 not being implemented.  This
causes the connection error since nothing is returned about the image - it
returns a null pointer.

I don't have access to a Windows Xp, Windows 7 or Windows 8 installation media
to try to extract the dll from.  Obviously Windwos 10, and perhaps earlier,
uses their own mini-xp environment to run XP programs.

I downloaded the dll from ddl-files.com as that was where I was told a reliable
image could be found.  I am aware of the inherit dangers in downloadeing from
unknown sources, but in this case I'm only trying to help someone else.  I can
remove everything wine when this is over.

I'm just looking for a way to solve this.  I am not alone in this problem -
it's both in the wine forums, ubuntu forums and on the net about people having
this error about the connection - which I would bet is prefixed by the type 3
not implemented and thus null pointer error.  A lot of these are games, some
are other applications.

I would REALLY hate to do it, because I've seen the source and all the pieces
that have to be found and included to build wine, bhat  in desperation one
could always load in the sources for wine and run a search on each one looking
for OLEPicture - that onto itself might provide some information.  But what
about the developers of the wine dll? Seems to me they should be able to trace
the error back.
