181 <title>The [Drive X] Section</title>
182 <para>
Andreas Mohra5589d52002-06-04 23:09:34 +0000183 These sections are supposed to make certain Unix
184 directory locations accessible to Wine as a DOS/Windows drive
185 (drive 'X:') and thus accessible to Windows programs
186 under the drive name you specified.
187 Every DOS/Windows program sort of expects at least a C: drive (and
188 sometimes also an A: floppy drive), so your config file should
189 at least contain the corresponding sections, [Drive C] and
190 [Drive A].
191 You need to decide on whether you want to use an existing Windows
192 partition as the C drive or whether you want to create your own
193 Wine drive C directory tree somewhere (take care about
194 permissions !).
195 Each drive section may specify up to 6 different settings
196 as explained below.
John R. Sheets1e8e5ba2000-08-08 01:24:00 +0000197 </para>
198 <para>
199 <programlisting>[Drive X]</programlisting>
Andreas Mohra5589d52002-06-04 23:09:34 +0000200 The above line begins the section for a drive whose letter is X
201 (DOS notation: drive 'X:').
202 You could e.g. create an equivalent to a drive 'C:'
203 under DOS/Windows by using a [Drive C] section name.
John R. Sheets1e8e5ba2000-08-08 01:24:00 +0000204 </para>
205 <para>
Andreas Mohra5589d52002-06-04 23:09:34 +0000206 <programlisting>"Path" = "/dir/to/path"</programlisting>
207 This specifies the directory where the drive will begin.
208 When Wine is browsing in drive X, it will be able
209 to see the files that are in the directory
210 <filename>/dir/to/path</filename> and below.
211 (note that symlinks to directories won't get included !
212 see "<link linkend="dirsymlinks">ShowDirSymlinks</link>"
213 config setting)
214 You can also make use of environment variables like $HOME here,
215 an example for using a mywinedrive directory in your home dir
216 would be
217 "Path" = "${HOME}/mywinedrive"
218 Don't forget to leave off the trailing slash!

Andreas Mohra5589d52002-06-04 23:09:34 +0000221 <programlisting>"Type" = "hd|cdrom|network|floppy"</programlisting>
John R. Sheets1e8e5ba2000-08-08 01:24:00 +0000222 Sets up the type of drive Wine will see it as. Type must
223 equal one of the four <literal>floppy</literal>,
224 <literal>hd</literal>, <literal>cdrom</literal>, or
225 <literal>network</literal>. They are self-explanatory.
Susan Farley3b10efe2001-09-26 23:02:31 +0000226 (The |'s mean "Type = '&lt;one of the options&gt;'".)
Andreas Mohra5589d52002-06-04 23:09:34 +0000227 Usually, you choose "hd" for a drive ("hd" is default anyway).

229 <para>
Andreas Mohra5589d52002-06-04 23:09:34 +0000230 <programlisting>"Label" = "blah"</programlisting>
231 Defines the drive label. Generally only needed
232 for programs that look for a special CD-ROM.
John R. Sheets1e8e5ba2000-08-08 01:24:00 +0000233 The label may be up to 11 characters.
Andreas Mohra5589d52002-06-04 23:09:34 +0000234 Note that the preferred way of managing labels and serial numbers
235 of CD-ROMs and floppies is to give Wine raw device access for
236 reading these on a per-CD case (see "Device" below) instead of
237 hardcoding one specific "Label".
John R. Sheets1e8e5ba2000-08-08 01:24:00 +0000238 </para>
239 <para>
Chris Morgan9a949802001-01-18 23:03:47 +0000240 <programlisting>"Serial" = "deadbeef"</programlisting>
John R. Sheets1e8e5ba2000-08-08 01:24:00 +0000241 Tells Wine the serial number of the drive. A few programs with
242 intense protection for pirating might need this, but otherwise
Andreas Mohra5589d52002-06-04 23:09:34 +0000243 it's not needed. Up to 8 characters and hexadecimal.
244 Using a "Device" entry instead of hardcoding the "Serial" probably
245 is a smarter choice.

284 plan on running apps that use long filenames. win95
285 should work fine with apps that were designed to run
286 under the msdos system. In other words, you might
287 not want to use this.)

Andreas Mohra5589d52002-06-04 23:09:34 +0000295 Needed for raw device access and label and serial number reading.
John R. Sheets1e8e5ba2000-08-08 01:24:00 +0000296 Use this ONLY for floppy and cdrom devices. Using it on
Andreas Mohra5589d52002-06-04 23:09:34 +0000297 Extended2 or other Unix file systems can have dire results
298 (when a windows app tries to do a lowlevel write,
299 they do it in a FAT way -- FAT format is completely different from
300 any Unix file system).
301 Also, make sure that you have proper permissions to this device
302 file.

306 This setting is not really important; almost all apps
307 will have no problem if it remains unspecified. For
Andreas Mohra5589d52002-06-04 23:09:34 +0000308 CD-ROMs it's quite useful in order to get automatic label
John R. Sheets1e8e5ba2000-08-08 01:24:00 +0000309 detection, though. If you are unsure about specifying
310 device names, just leave out this setting for your
311 drives.

344 <para>
Andreas Mohr7bed6962001-09-19 22:34:38 +0000345 The [wine] section of the configuration file contains all kinds
Andreas Mohra5589d52002-06-04 23:09:34 +0000346 of general settings for Wine.

Andreas Mohra5589d52002-06-04 23:09:34 +0000349 <programlisting>"Windows" = "c:\\windows"</programlisting>
350 This tells Wine and Windows programs where the
351 <filename>Windows</filename> directory is. It is
352 recommended to have this directory somewhere on your
353 configured <medialabel>C</medialabel> drive, and it's also
354 recommended to just call the directory "windows" (this is
355 the default setup on Windows, and some stupid applications
356 might rely on this). So in case you chose a "Windows"
357 setting of "c:\\windows" and you chose to set up a drive C
358 e.g. at <filename>/usr/local/wine_c</filename>, the
359 corresponding directory would be
360 <filename>/usr/local/wine_c/windows</filename>. Make one
361 if you don't already have one. NO TRAILING SLASH (NOT
362 <filename>C:\\windows\</filename>)! Write access strongly
363 recommended!

Andreas Mohra5589d52002-06-04 23:09:34 +0000367 This sets up where the windows system files are. The Windows
368 system directory should reside below the directory used for the
369 <literal>Windows</literal> setting.
370 Thus when using the example above, the system directory would be
371 <filename>/usr/local/wine_c/windows/system</filename>.

393 always has your <filename>windows</filename> directory and

399 Sets the graphics driver to use for Wine output.
400 x11drv is for X11 output, ttydrv is for text console output.
401 WARNING: if you use ttydrv here, then you won't be able to run
402 any Windows GUI programs. Thus this option is mainly interesting
403 for e.g. embedded use of Wine in web server scripts.
Andreas Mohr70c82e82002-10-29 23:13:01 +0000404 Note that ttydrv is still very lacking, so if it doesn't work,
405 resort to using "xvfb", a virtual X11 server.

412 Using these things are pretty alpha, so you might want to
413 watch out. Some people might find it useful, however. If

428 Wine doesn't pass directory symlinks to Windows programs by
429 default, as doing so may crash some programs that do
430 recursive lookups of whole subdirectory trees
431 whenever a directory symlink points back to itself or one of its
432 parent directories.
433 That's why we disallowed the use of directory symlinks
434 and added this setting to reenable ("1") this functionality.

Chris Morgan9a949802001-01-18 23:03:47 +0000576 default configuration file, but this has been obsoleted
577 because the pairing information has now been embedded into
578 Wine itself. (The purpose of this section was merely to be
579 able to issue warnings if the user attempted to pair
580 codependent 16-bit/32-bit DLLs of different types.) If you

677 <para>
678 Since the way X handles fonts is different from the way
679 Windows does, wine uses a special mechanism to deal with
680 them. It must scale them using the number defined in the
681 "Resolution" setting. 60-120 are reasonable values, 96 is
682 a nice in the middle one. If you have the real windows
683 fonts available (<filename>&lt;dirs to
684 wine>/documentation/ttfserver</filename> and
685 <filename>fonts</filename>), this parameter will not be as
686 important. Of course, it's always good to get your X fonts

696 <para>
697 The <literal>Alias</literal> setting allows you to map an X font to a font
698 used in wine. This is good for apps that need a special font you don't have,
699 but a good replacement exists. The syntax is like so:
700 <programlisting>
Chris Morgan9a949802001-01-18 23:03:47 +0000701"AliasX" = "[Fake windows name],[Real X name]"&lt;,optional "masking" section>
John R. Sheets1e8e5ba2000-08-08 01:24:00 +0000702 </programlisting>
703 </para>
704 <para>
705 Pretty straightforward. Replace "AliasX" with "Alias0",
706 then "Alias1" and so on. The fake windows name is the name
707 that the font will be under a windows app in wine. The
708 real X name is the font name as seen by X (Run
709 "xfontsel"). The optional "masking" section allows you to
710 utilize the fake windows name you define. If it is not
711 used, then wine will just try to extract the fake windows
712 name itself and not use the value you enter.
713 </para>
714 <para>
715 Here is an example of an alias without masking. The font will show up in windows
Andreas Mohr5ec74d62002-07-24 03:00:02 +0000716 apps as "Google".

738 Even though it sounds like a lot of sections, these are
John R. Sheetsd9e064f2000-12-13 21:52:37 +0000739 all closely related. They are all for communications and
Andreas Mohr5ec74d62002-07-24 03:00:02 +0000740 parallel ports.
John R. Sheets1e8e5ba2000-08-08 01:24:00 +0000741 </para>
742 <para>
743 The [serialports] section tells wine what serial ports it
744 is allowed to use.

John R. Sheets1e8e5ba2000-08-08 01:24:00 +0000746 </para>
747 <para>
748 Replace <literal>X</literal> with the number of the COM
749 port in Windows (1-8) and <literal>Y</literal> with the
750 number of it in <literal>X</literal> (Usually the number
751 of the port in Windows minus 1). <literal>ComX</literal>
752 can actually equal any device
753 (<medialabel>/dev/modem</medialabel> is acceptable). It is
754 not always necessary to define any COM ports (An optional
755 setting). Here is an example:
Andreas Mohrf71ae472002-12-16 22:09:55 +0000756 <programlisting>"Com1" = "/dev/ttyS0"</programlisting>
John R. Sheets1e8e5ba2000-08-08 01:24:00 +0000757 </para>
758 <para>
759 Use as many of these as you like in the section to define
760 all of the COM ports you need.
761 </para>
762 <para>
763 The [parallelports] section sets up any parallel ports
764 that will be allowed access under wine.
Chris Morgan9a949802001-01-18 23:03:47 +0000765 <programlisting>"LptX" = "/dev/lpY"</programlisting>
John R. Sheets1e8e5ba2000-08-08 01:24:00 +0000766 </para>
767 <para>
John R. Sheetsd9e064f2000-12-13 21:52:37 +0000768 Sounds familiar? Syntax is just like the COM port setting.
John R. Sheets1e8e5ba2000-08-08 01:24:00 +0000769 Replace <literal>X</literal> with a value from 1-4 as it
770 is in Windows and <literal>Y</literal> with a value from
771 0-3 (<literal>Y</literal> is usually the value in windows
772 minus 1, just like for COM ports). You don't always need
773 to define a parallel port (AKA, it's optional). As with
Andreas Mohrf71ae472002-12-16 22:09:55 +0000774 the other section, LptX can equal any device (Maybe
John R. Sheets1e8e5ba2000-08-08 01:24:00 +0000775 <medialabel>/dev/printer</medialabel>). Here is an
Chris Morgan9a949802001-01-18 23:03:47 +0000776 example: <programlisting>"Lpt1" = "/dev/lp0"</programlisting>

779 The [spooler] section will inform wine where to spool
780 print jobs. Use this if you want to try printing. Wine
781 docs claim that spooling is "rather primitive" at this
782 time, so it won't work perfectly. IT IS OPTIONAL. The only
783 setting you use in this section works to map a port (LPT1,
784 for example) to a file or a command. Here is an example,
Andreas Mohr5ec74d62002-07-24 03:00:02 +0000785 mapping LPT1 to the file <filename>out.ps</filename>:

951 <para>
952 If this option is set to "Y" or missing, Wine will set the
953 NetBIOS name to the Unix host name of your computer, if
954 necessary truncated to 31 characters. The Unix hostname is the output
Andreas Mohrf71ae472002-12-16 22:09:55 +0000955 of the shell command <command>hostname</command>, up to but not
Martin Wilck6d886a52002-11-15 01:01:47 +0000956 including the first dot ('.'). Among other things, this means that
957 Windows programs running under Wine cannot change the NetBIOS computer name.
958 </para>
959 <para>
960 If this option is set to "N", Wine will use the registry value above
961 to set the NetBIOS name. Only if the registry entry doesn't exist (usually
962 only during the first wine startup) it will use the Unix hostname as
963 usual. Windows applications can change the NetBIOS name. The change
Andreas Mohrf71ae472002-12-16 22:09:55 +0000964 will be effective after a "reboot", i.e. after restarting Wine.

1080 X11. During most of Wine's history, this was the only display

1083 only alternative currently available is Patrik Stridvall's
1084 ncurses-based ttydrv, which he claims works for displaying

1099 load with the <literal>GraphicsDriver</literal> option). In
1100 Wine, running on X11, the graphics driver must draw on
1101 drawables (window interiors) provided by the windowing
1102 driver. This differs a bit from the Windows model, where the
1103 windowing system creates and configures device contexts
1104 controlled by the graphics driver, and applications are
1105 allowed to hook into this relationship anywhere they like.
1106 Thus, to provide any reasonable tradeoff between
1107 compatibility and usability, the x11drv has three different
1108 modes of operation.

1238 sending the data through the standard X11 socket, even

1359 <para>
1360 The windows and DOS version value a program gets e.g. by calling the
1361 Windows function GetVersion() plays a very important role:
1362 If your Wine installation for whatever reason fails to provide
1363 to your program the correct version value that it expects,
1364 then the program might assume some very bad things and fail (in
1365 the worst case even silently !).
1366
1367 Fortunately Wine contains some more or less intelligent Windows
1368 version guessing algorithm that will try to guess the Windows
1369 version a program might expect and pass that one on to the
1370 program.
1371
1372 Thus you should <emphasis>not</emphasis> lightly configure a version value, as this will be a "forced" value and thus turn out to be rather harmful to proper operation. In other words: only explicitly set a Windows version value in case Wine's own version detection was unable to provide the correct Windows version and the program fails.

1457 device as well. This may be useful for many Win 9x games or

Andreas Mohr5ec74d62002-07-24 03:00:02 +00001592 The wine config file directives [DllDefaults]
Andreas Mohrb6e84182002-02-02 18:03:55 +00001593 and [DllOverrides] are the subject of some confusion. The
1594 overall purpose of most of these directives are clear enough,
1595 though - given a choice, should Wine use its own built-in
1596 DLLs, or should it use <filename>.DLL</filename> files found
1597 in an existing Windows installation? This document explains
1598 how this feature works.

1639 <para>
1640 At one time, there was a section called [DllPairs] in the
1641 default configuration file, but this has been obsoleted
1642 because the pairing information has now been embedded into
1643 Wine itself. (The purpose of this section was merely to be
1644 able to issue warnings if the user attempted to pair
1645 codependent 16-bit/32-bit DLLs of different types.) If you
Andreas Mohr5ec74d62002-07-24 03:00:02 +00001646 still have this in your <filename>~/.wine/config</filename> or
1647 <filename>wine.conf</filename>, you may safely delete it.

1652 <title>The [DllOverrides] section</title>
1653 <para>
1654 This section specifies how you want specific DLLs to be
1655 handled, in particular whether you want to use "native" DLLs
1656 or not, if you have some from a real Windows configuration.
1657 Because builtins do not mix seamlessly with native DLLs yet,
1658 certain DLL dependencies may be problematic, but workarounds
1659 exist in Wine for many popular DLL configurations. Also see
1660 WWN's [16]Status Page to figure out how well your favorite
1661 DLL is implemented in Wine.
1662 </para>
1663 <para>
1664 It is of course also possible to override these settings by
1665 explictly using Wine's <parameter>--dll</parameter>
1666 command-line option (see the man page for details). Some
1667 hints for choosing your optimal configuration (listed by

1947 In case Wine complains about a missing DLL, you should check whether
1948 this file is a publicly available DLL or a custom DLL belonging
1949 to your program (by searching for its name on the internet).
1950 If you managed to get hold of the DLL, then you should make sure
1951 that Wine is able to find and load it.
1952 DLLs usually get loaded according to the mechanism of the
1953 SearchPath() function.
1954 This function searches directories in the following order:

Andreas Mohrb6e84182002-02-02 18:03:55 +00001984 In short: either put the required DLL into your application
1985 directory (might be ugly), or usually put it into the Windows system
1986 directory. Just find out its directory by having a look at the Wine

Andreas Mohr70c82e82002-10-29 23:13:01 +00001989 Note that you probably shouldn't use NT-based native DLLs,
1990 since Wine's NT API support is somewhat weaker than its Win9x
1991 API support (thus leading to even worse compatibility with NT DLLs
1992 than with a no-windows setup !), so better use Win9x native DLLs
1993 instead or no native DLLs at all.

2063 (Extracted from <filename>wine/documentation/keyboard</filename>)
2064 </para>
2065
2066 <para>
2067 Wine now needs to know about your keyboard layout. This
2068 requirement comes from a need from many apps to have the
2069 correct scancodes available, since they read these directly,
2070 instead of just taking the characters returned by the X
2071 server. This means that Wine now needs to have a mapping from
2072 X keys to the scancodes these applications expect.
2073 </para>
2074 <para>
2075 On startup, Wine will try to recognize the active X layout by
2076 seeing if it matches any of the defined tables. If it does,
2077 everything is alright. If not, you need to define it.
2078 </para>
2079 <para>
2080 To do this, open the file
Alexandre Julliardd0893542002-04-30 21:16:39 +00002081 <filename>dlls/x11drv/keyboard.c</filename> and take a look
John R. Sheets1e8e5ba2000-08-08 01:24:00 +00002082 at the existing tables. Make a backup copy of it, especially
2083 if you don't use CVS.
2084 </para>
2085 <para>
2086 What you really would need to do, is find out which scancode
2087 each key needs to generate. Find it in the
2088 <function>main_key_scan</function> table, which looks like
2089 this:
2090 </para>
2091 <programlisting>
2092static const int main_key_scan[MAIN_LEN] =
2093{
2094/* this is my (102-key) keyboard layout, sorry if it doesn't quite match yours */
2095 0x29,0x02,0x03,0x04,0x05,0x06,0x07,0x08,0x09,0x0A,0x0B,0x0C,0x0D,
2096 0x10,0x11,0x12,0x13,0x14,0x15,0x16,0x17,0x18,0x19,0x1A,0x1B,
2097 0x1E,0x1F,0x20,0x21,0x22,0x23,0x24,0x25,0x26,0x27,0x28,0x2B,
2098 0x2C,0x2D,0x2E,0x2F,0x30,0x31,0x32,0x33,0x34,0x35,
2099 0x56 /* the 102nd key (actually to the right of l-shift) */
2100};
2101 </programlisting>
2102 <para>
2103 Next, assign each scancode the characters imprinted on the
2104 keycaps. This was done (sort of) for the US 101-key keyboard,
2105 which you can find near the top in
2106 <filename>keyboard.c</filename>. It also shows that if there
2107 is no 102nd key, you can skip that.
2108 </para>
2109 <para>
2110 However, for most international 102-key keyboards, we have
2111 done it easy for you. The scancode layout for these already
2112 pretty much matches the physical layout in the
2113 <function>main_key_scan</function>, so all you need to do is
2114 to go through all the keys that generate characters on your
2115 main keyboard (except spacebar), and stuff those into an
2116 appropriate table. The only exception is that the 102nd key,
2117 which is usually to the left of the first key of the last line
2118 (usually <keycap>Z</keycap>), must be placed on a separate
2119 line after the last line.
2120 </para>
2121 <para>
2122 For example, my Norwegian keyboard looks like this
2123 </para>
2124 <screen>
2125§ ! " # ¤ % & / ( ) = ? ` Back-

2139 <para>
2140 Note the 102nd key, which is the <keycap>&lt;></keycap> key, to
2141 the left of <keycap>Z</keycap>. The character to the right of
2142 the main character is the character generated by
2143 <keycap>AltGr</keycap>.
2144 </para>
2145 <para>
2146 This keyboard is defined as follows:

2158 <para>
2159 Except that " and \ needs to be quoted with a backslash, and
2160 that the 102nd key is on a separate line, it's pretty
2161 straightforward.
2162 </para>
2163 <para>
2164 After you have written such a table, you need to add it to the
2165 <function>main_key_tab[]</function> layout index table. This
2166 will look like this:
2167 </para>
2168 <programlisting>
2169static struct {
2170 WORD lang, ansi_codepage, oem_codepage;
2171 const char (*key)[MAIN_LEN][4];
2172} main_key_tab[]={
2173...
2174...
Andreas Mohr5ec74d62002-07-24 03:00:02 +00002175 {MAKELANGID(LANG_NORWEGIAN,SUBLANG_DEFAULT), 1252, 865, &amp;main_key_NO},
John R. Sheets1e8e5ba2000-08-08 01:24:00 +00002176...
2177 </programlisting>
2178 <para>
2179 After you have added your table, recompile Wine and test that
2180 it works. If it fails to detect your table, try running
2181 </para>
2182 <screen>
2183wine --debugmsg +key,+keyboard >& key.log
2184 </screen>
2185 <para>
2186 and look in the resulting <filename>key.log</filename> file to
2187 find the error messages it gives for your layout.
2188 </para>
2189 <para>
2190 Note that the <constant>LANG_*</constant> and
2191 <constant>SUBLANG_*</constant> definitions are in
2192 <filename>include/winnls.h</filename>, which you might need to
2193 know to find out which numbers your language is assigned, and
2194 find it in the debugmsg output. The numbers will be
2195 <literal>(SUBLANG * 0x400 + LANG)</literal>, so, for example
2196 the combination <literal>LANG_NORWEGIAN (0x14)</literal> and
2197 <literal>SUBLANG_DEFAULT (0x1)</literal> will be (in hex)
2198 <literal>14 + 1*400 = 414</literal>, so since I'm Norwegian, I
2199 could look for <literal>0414</literal> in the debugmsg output
2200 to find out why my keyboard won't detect.
2201 </para>
2202 <para>
2203 Once it works, submit it to the Wine project. If you use CVS,

2237 <title>Using ODBC</title>
2238 <para>
2239 This section describes how ODBC works within Wine and how to configure
2240 it to do what you want (if it can do what you want).
2241 </para>
2242 <para>
2243 The ODBC system within wine, as with the printing system, is designed
2244 to hook across to the Unix system at a high level. Rather than
2245 ensuring that all the windows code works under wine it uses a suitable
2246 Unix ODBC provider, such as UnixODBC. Thus if you configure Wine to
2247 use the builtin odbc32.dll that wine dll will interface to your
2248 Unix ODBC package and let that do the work, whereas if you configure
2249 Wine to use the native odbc32.dll it will try to use the native
2250 ODBC32 drivers etc.
2251 </para>
2252 <sect2>
2253 <title>Using a Unix ODBC system with Wine</title>
2254 <para>
2255 The first step in using a Unix ODBC system with Wine is, of course,
2256 to get the Unix ODBC system working itself. This may involve
2257 downloading code or rpms etc. There are several Unix ODBC systems
2258 available; the one the author is used to is unixODBC (with the
2259 IBM DB2 driver). Typically such systems will include a tool, such
2260 as isql, which will allow you to access the data from the command
2261 line so that you can check that the system is working.
2262 </para>
2263 <para>
2264 The next step is to hook the Unix ODBC library to the wine builtin
2265 odbc32 dll. The builtin odbc32 (currently) looks to the
2266 environmental variable <emphasis>LIB_ODBC_DRIVER_MANAGER</emphasis>
2267 for the name of the odbc library. For example in the author's
2268 .bashrc file is the line:
2269 </para>
2270 <programlisting>
2271export LIB_ODBC_DRIVER_MANAGER=/usr/lib/libodbc.so.1.0.0
2272 </programlisting>
2273 <para>
2274 If that environmental variable is not set then it looks for a
2275 library called libodbc.so and so you can add a symbolic link to
2276 equate that to your own library. For example as root you could
2277 run the commands:
2278 </para>
2279 <programlisting>
2280ln -s libodbc.so.1.0.0 /usr/lib/libodbc.so
2281/sbin/ldconfig
2282 </programlisting>
2283 <para>
2284 The last step in configuring this is to ensure that Wine is set up
2285 to run the builtin version of odbc32.dll, by modifying the DLL
2286 configuration. This builtin dll merely acts as a stub between the
2287 calling code and the Unix ODBC library.
2288 </para>
2289 <para>
2290 If you have any problems then you can use the debugmsg channel
2291 odbc32 to trace what is happening. One word of warning. Some
2292 programs actually cheat a little and bypass the odbc library. For
2293 example the Crystal Reports engine goes to the registry to check on
2294 the DSN. The fix for this is documented at unixODBC's site where
2295 there is a section on using unixODBC with Wine.
