Hi,
Is winhelp supposed to be able to handle these help files? It is
listed in the appdb as gold-supported.
no. basically, the external DLL registers back into winhelp to get
some extended support that we don't provide yet. Basically, most of
the core logic is here, but we have to wrap it into the APIs designed
for those winhelp plugin DLLs. You also it some bugs in the
decompression scheme for help files. Basically, all of this is rather
low priority, but if someone wants to jump in, I can boot strap him
on those issues.
As we do own Windows 98 licenses, it would be no problem to use real
Windows 98 DLLs. Is there a chance to get any further with this
approach? Of Which DLLs or programs should I try to use the native ones?
There are several other errors I see using derive, but I will have
to do some more research. An easy bug is probably that the user
just gets a black window after clicking on "about wine".
may be linked to the external DLL required for some action here.
I will do some more investigation. At least with the default log-level
wine is not reporting any oddities.
Thanks for you help.
Felix
