wine users - Jul 2006 - Still trying to sort out an override problem

The program I am trying to run quits with the following error messages:

fixme:richedit:RichEditANSIWndProc EM_EXLIMITTEXT: stub
fixme:richedit:RichEditANSIWndProc EM_EXLIMITTEXT: stub
fixme:richedit:RichEditANSIWndProc EM_EXLIMITTEXT: stub
fixme:richedit:RichEditANSIWndProc EM_EXLIMITTEXT: stub

fixme:richedit:RichEditANSIWndProc EM_EXLIMITTEXT: stub
fixme:richedit:RichEditANSIWndProc EM_EXLIMITTEXT: stub
fixme:richedit:RichEditANSIWndProc EM_EXLIMITTEXT: stub

I have tried running winecfg and have entered my program name in the 
Applications tab, selected it, and then switched to the Libraries tab 
and entered:

[AppDefaults\\\\Olb.exe\\\\DllOverrides] ; address richedit interfaces 
not displaying \"riched20\" = \"native\",
\"riched32\" = \"native\"

I have also added the richedit20 and richedit32 libraries as native then 
builtin, but neither change seems to make a difference.  Another thing I 
noticed is that when I get the fixme messages the terminal seems to lock 
up and never returns to the prompt.

My program file is located on Windows drive D: and I presume the 
richedit libraries are in the system folder on drive C:.  Could that be 
confusing Wine, or is it smart enough to sort that out?  My Windows 
system is Win2k, btw.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks,
Bob

Those are not error messages. A fixme is non-fatal.

I'm confused by what you mean with "not displaying".

What if you hit CTRL-C or CTRL-Z (i.e. quit or suspend) ?

You _assume_? Don't you know where you put them? You aren't using your
windows installation as C:, are you?

Which program would that be? You didn't just enter the whole line as it
is into winecfg, did you?

Put them into ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/system32

Well, this entry was written back when there was a config file. You
can't know that, of course. But looking at the Libraries tab in winecfg,
doesn't it strike you as odd?

There is no difference.

That is what you should do.

That would be the doing of your program, not wines.

Shouldn't make a difference.

I guess you won't be able to use your program for the time being, i.e.
until wine improves.
