[ros-kernel] RE: Re: RE: Port for Comdlg32

[Steven E. <Ste...@kn...>]

I like nicotine =P

Anyway I'm still new to programing so I've been working on notepad and
program manager from wine. Both of these need libcomdlg32.a from mingw to
compile. I have notepad mostly working under 98/2k. I'm commiting it either
tonight or tommrow. Keep in mind that none of this will do us alot of good
untill the GDI is in better shape but if you want to go ahead with porting
comdlg32 then we can go ahead and start testing it and my apps under
9x/nt/2k.

So, import the ones you need and place them in the include directory.
Bypass ming.

Agree NO! Not that hard.

Sorry, NO! It is never a waste of time when your having fun. Coffee is
a good drug too. 8^D

project too? I thought I saw unicode stuff there.
