problems with dde, I think...

[Josh Duncan]

Hi all,

I'm a little new to the list, so please be forgiving if I'm asking old
questions.  I've tried to do some research on the net and list archives to see
if my questions have been answered before.

I'm trying to run a program called Logos, which is a reference system for
Biblical texts and other various study materials.  It has a
two-(independent)-windowed type interface, with a list of reference materials in
one window("library"), and a workspace-type window containing subwindows with
the texts of individual books.

I can get the "library" window to show up when running wine, and the initial
"quick tip" window, but when I click the close button of the tip window wine
encounters an exception.  I believe the exception is in user32.dll, in the
ddeuninitialize16 function. This is going from my memory of the one time I was
able to attach to the wine process to catch the exception.

I attempted copying the kernel32, user32 dll's from a win98 machine into my wine
dir, but this did not help.  after doing this, I could not run winedbg either,
as it exits giving me the following error:
err:win32:PE_fixup_imports No implementation for
kernel32.dll.0(wine_get_unix_file_name) imported from winedbg, setting to
0xdeadbeef

This error occurs even after removing the two dlls.  If anyone can give me
advice about how to fix this, I'll try to post up the winedbg results of running
the program(backtrace, et al)

I know that some people have mentioned dde being broken between apps, I don't
know if this is the case for this app, because when I was able to do a winedbg
"walk process" it only listed one w-process, with 4 w-threads running.

I have attached my wine config file, any advice would be greatly appreciated.
(Also, if this email should have gone to the wine-users list, please let me
know)

I'm using the wine-20011029.i386.rpm from LinuxEasy, linked off of the
winehq.org download page.

sincerely,
Josh Duncan

not that it matters, but a pic of the two windows I can produce are at
http://www.msmd.net/logos.jpg
I'd try and show a pic of the other window, but the system gets so unstable that
it can hard-lockup the machine, I think this is a cpu-spinning-in-signal handler
problem but I couldn't get you a log right now to prove it.
