Questions concering an application I maintain

[Jacob Alberty]

I'm not yet sure what the specific issue is with the richedit control yet,
Its not behaving as it should in regards to saving information to a database
in delphi (very delphi specific), So its going to take a lot of testing and
debugging to determine where the fault lies exactly (if i replace
riched20.dll with the one from the native msi installer it works fine). Just
coming up with a test case I can submit will be a feat on its own
considering how many layers I have to dig through, I have to look at my
useage of TDBRichEdit, TDBRichEdit's use of TCustomRichControl and
TCustomRichControl's use of the windows api to pin it down to any one
specific thing, hence the vague description I gave of "weirdness". All in
all considering my small program is dependant on ~50 thousand lines of
delphi code and my using wine in a production system with this program only
uncovering one small bug relating to richedit, I am quite impressed with
wine.
