Hello All, I have been working with the latest release of Wine after finding out that the recent CVS version would not run because of some error in loading the user32.dll. Currently I have implemented the bitblt Maskblt routine and is working, but still experiencine some little problems with the masking of the icon images. While testing an application that I have been working with, I have found out that my application gives me an alert dialog screen. could not load "somefile.jpg" for example and this seems to be the case for other needed files that are in actually in the current directory. I do not know why this is the case when the test application runs just fine on my real windows test machine. In one test, I actually hard-coded the location of the support images into my test application and re-compiled. To my amazement, it worked. It seems that WINE will not look for the needed files in the current directory when starting up an application. Any ideas what is going on here? cheers, Lonnie -- Lonnie Cumberland OutStep Technologies Incorporated EMAIL: Lonnie@OutStep.com : Lonnie_Cumberland@yahoo.com The Basis Express Virtual Office & Data Backup and Recovery Services URL: http://www.basis-express.com "The Virtual Office without boundaries!!!"
