Hello, I was just going through my old mail and I noticed Shachar's email (below) on Jan. 26. Just to let you know, I do try to keep up with the wine devel discussions, but as you can see, I'm not very successful. I still have a bug assigned to me that is almost a year old now. I'd like to work on wine more, but I've been really busy with school lately. Hopefully, I'll have more time when I graduate.
Anyway, I chose that green color in winemine specifically to make it annoying ;). Actually, at the time I didn't want it to have a boring old gray background, so I chose green in order to make it would look like grass (a mine field). But I guess it's pretty annoying. Do you have a color preference? Do you or anyone else have more suggestions for improving winemine? Maybe ideas for a 3D minesweeper game or something? I wrote it like four years ago, and I didn't know a whole lot about what I was doing (I was in Comp. Sci. 1 when I wrote it). I'd like it to be more fun than your typical minesweeper game. Also, when I originally submitted it, someone complained that it was slow. Is this still the case for anyone out there?

If wineboot is not installed, that's a bug. We should fix it. I'll try to help with the things I know. This is far from authorative on most, however. > @ regedit : A tool to browse/edit your regestory or for exporting a > windows registory to Wine. Not browse.

Also not yet done is for wineboot to automatically run when needed. Currently you have to manually run it after you install something. > @ winemine : A winmine clone "Windows Minesweeper" ??? Yep, using horrid green colors. I'm sorry if I have offended the author (Joshua Thielen, are you still with us?) > @ winepath : Specifies the path(s) in which to search for builtin dlls > and Winelib applications. I think this is an executable that, given a Unix path, will tell you what Wine sees it like (i.e. - you tell it ~/c/windows, and it tells you C:\Windows). I'm not sure on that one. > -- winesetup : This is a Tcl/Tk based front end that provides a user > friendly tool to edit and configure the WINECONFDIR/config file. Anyone knows where it is? It was never based on the winehq sources. Shachar __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Tax Center - File online, calculators, forms, and more http://tax.yahoo.com
