Hi there, I have some problems here converting my WinXP registry to wine. Neither of the export options in regedit.exe seem to provide the appropriate input file format for regapi. So "regapi setValue < registry.reg" wont do anything. "more registry.reg" displays the file in a human readable format, however, when I redirect the output into a new file or pipe it to an editor, it is binary again. So what I need is a command to convert .reg files (or any binary files) to text. I'd be glad if someone could help me out, Sincerely, Friedrich Slivovsky
