crossover programs missing from source code

[Theodore Dubois]

I’ve got a few guesses:

cxdummy: Placeholder for programs that some windows programs expect to exist, but do not actually exist. Does nothing whatsoever. ctfmon, ddhelp, findfast, imjpmig, maildoff, mdm, mosearch, progman, pstores, and qttask are actually symlinks to this. So cross them off the list.

sendwndcmd, according the the documentation it outputs when you call it with --help, send specified messages to specified windows. You can run it in a mode where the commands to send messages come in through a pipe, presumably so you don’t have to run it over and over again.

netscape is for old programs that think Netscape is the only browser in the world, and will try to invoke it instead of looking up the default browser. It invokes winebrowser. (I think. I haven’t tried it.)

That leaves:

assocscan
autorun
extract
icwconn1

What do those do?

PS: My crossover demo is expired, so I can’t really try any of them out and see what they do.
