NT was a seperate thread of Window OSes! The two were "merged" in ME/XP, and 2K was the equivilant of NT 5! I don't understand what you're saying here. But yes, 9x support seems to be best. It's because there's less to implement, and it's been in the works longer, I'd guess. ME just has less work on it, IIRC.

And I suppose there's no way you could discuss (either now or later) this, say in a development thread? i.e. a problem to be fixed (if not in 5.3-RELEASE) in, say, 5.4 or a 5.3-DEVELOPMENT or something? Since I have no experience whatsoever with FreeBSD, I don't think I'd be able to help you any more here. Maybe someone else can help you, and if not... well, maybe someone will fix it later down the road. Or you can contact wine-devel and see if you can write your own patch-workaround. > -------------- > Regards, Mirya > Good luck, --Michael _______________________________________________ wine-users mailing list wine-users@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.winehq.org/mailman/listinfo/wine-users
