This wrapper wraps each function.I did edit the configure.ac file, but couldn't get autoconf to create a good configure file.Patch v2 attached dns-sd.diff Description: Binary data

I believe there is a better case to be made with Safari/Quicktime/iTunes as I believe they also install Bonjour services on Windows. If you wanted to validate/compare how the native service works verses say a wrapper then it would be of use.

If you wanted to validate/compare how the native service works verses say a wrapper then it would be of use. Pidgin might be another example... What I really meant is that it should at least be evaluated... (I didn't realize at the time that Bonjour for Windows has a seperate installer available...) It might have a valid use if conflicts exist between Windows Bonjour under Wine and native bonjour / other Zeroconf implementations... (such as listening on the same port) (If such a confilct exists, it should be possible to run either a ZeroConf implementation natively or to run it under Wine, but not both. This can be problematic, since two of Wine's largest platforms, Ubuntu and OS X installs ZeroConf implementations by default) (I'm not familiar enough with Bonjour / ZeroConf to really understand which parts of it is wrapped by this DLL) (It seems that DNS Service Discovery is able to function without mDNS) Just a note: According to Wikipedia, Photoshop CS3 is among the applications using Bonjour under Windows: http://blogs.adobe.com/jnack/2007/01/cs3_doesnt_inst.html Gert
