Looking for a place to chekin

by Robert Köpferl

I'm currently preparing the doc on how to publish ROS. Since I did this a several times I made a QnD script which I want to reference in my description. It's quite not a real solution, but better than nothing on the way until rbuild gets that feature/target. Where do you think I should check that in? I think of a subdirectory at reactos/tools thanks

Visual Studio

by Jurgen Van Gael

Hi, I was just fiddling around with reactos and am interested in getting some stuff to compile with msvc. (I tried 2003 and 2005 express beta 2) However, the sln workspace files don't seem to open properly on neither visual studio. The vcproj do; just wondering whether you guys use other versions of visual studio? Jurgen

top-level source header

by Ged

Although a standard header was drafted out for the ReactOS source code, few people seem to use it and it doesn't seem to be in the wiki. I would like to get something in the wiki agreed on by everyone which should be included in our source files. I think we firstly need have a vote to see if everyone actually wants a standard header, but I put together some info anyway to explain my thoughts As much of the ReactOS code is licensed under the GPL, it can be reused by anyone under the license agreements. As the BSD code does, I think a ReactOS copyright notice should be placed in the header to ensure people know where the original code came from. Our current header has no provision for this meaning anyone reading ReactOS code away from the project won't have a return point. I was talking this over with Alex, who suggested everyone might not want to give copyright to the foundation. Any suggestions? Using the existing header, I have drafted a slightly modified version /* 1 * ReactOS <place holder> 2 * Copyright (C) 2005 ReactOS Foundation 3 * 4 * LICENCE: <place holder> 5 * PROJECT: <place holder> 6 * FILE: <place holder> 7 * PURPOSE: <place holder> 8 * PROGRAMMERS: <place holder> 9 * REVISIONS: 10 * <place holder> 11 * */ 1. This is a quick line to state the area which the code was written for. Examples could include: ReactOS Executive ReactOS Win32 Subsystem ReactOS Win32 Applications 2. The copyright should detail a date when the copyright was initiated along with the date when it was last modified. For example: 1999 - 2004 The proceeding date should be updated each time a revision is made. 4. This line should state the licence used and where to find the COPYING file 5. This line should state what project / binary the code is for. Examples could include: ReactOS ntdll library ReactOS ws2_32 library ReactOS arp utility ReactOS cache manager ReactOS thread scheduler 6. This line should state the location of the file within the repository 7. This line should state the purpose of the project / binary the code is intended for 8. This line should state any programmers whom have worked on the code. The programmer can also choose to add an email address along with their name as a point of contact 9. This line should list any revisions made to the code. The revisions should include programmers initials, which can be linked to the PROGRAMMERS section, the date the revision was made and a short comment describing the revision. This is not meant for bug fixes and small modifications, but for feature additions or substantial patches I think we should put something in the wiki in relation to this. Does anyone have any other suggestions, or modifications to my header. Please see the examples below. Examples: /* * ReactOS Win32 Applications * Copyright (C) 2005 ReactOS Foundation * * LICENCE: GPL - See COPYING in the top level directory * PROJECT: ReactOS arp utility * FILE: apps/utils/net/arp/arp.c * PURPOSE: view and manipulate the ARP cache * PROGRAMMERS: Ged Murphy (gedmurphy(a)gmail.com) * REVISIONS: * GM 04/10/05 Created * */ /* * ReactOS Executive * Copyright (C) 2005 ReactOS Foundation * * LICENCE: GPL - See COPYING in the top level directory * PROJECT: ReactOS kernel * FILE: ntoskrnl/ex/mutant.c * PURPOSE: section of the kernel * PROGRAMMERS: Alex Ionescu (alex(a)reactos.org) * David Welch (welch(a)cwcom.net) * REVISIONS: * AI 04/10/05 Fix tab/space mismatching, tiny fixes to query function and * add more debug output. * */ /* * ReactOS Network Stack * Copyright (C) 2000 - 2005 ReactOS Foundation * * LICENCE: GPL - See COPYING in the top level directory * PROJECT: ReactOS TCP/IP protocol driver * FILE: transport/tcp/tcp.c * PURPOSE: Transmission Control Protocol * PROGRAMMERS: Casper S. Hornstrup (chorns(a)users.sourceforge.net) * Art Yerkes (arty(a)users.sf.net) * REVISIONS: * CSH 01/08-2000 Created * AY 12/21/2004 Added accept */

Another one would be the recent discussions between Alex and Emmanuelle about splitting win32 the subsystem. This isn't a decision that people not working with the code should be making .... consider the users who come into the forums asking what version of Linux ReactOS is based on. Should they be allowed to sway this decision. To stop any animosity of users towards devs, the votes could be made hidden. However I don't think this is a requirement as I think the majority of users would understand the position on voting. It would also be interesting for users to see the voting results, and how ReactOS is developing. If there is a vote where the users input is needed, then it can obviously be placed in another section where the users have write access. This was demonstrated recently when Alex Ionescu started the poll on feature importance.

Voting system

by Murphy, Ged (Bolton)

This seems to have died a death again, so I'm going to bring it back up. So far we have 2 viable options for the new voting system: 1. Have a new section in the forums where only the developer group has write access. Conduct all votes in there using the forums built-in voting system and posting mechanism for comments Vote results are stored in the database and everything is handled by the software All votes are anonymous / private and each developer has only one vote. 2. Design our own voting system and integrate it into the website. This will be controlled via the global login system and all devs will have access to initiate, vote and comment on votes. Vote results need to be stored in a database and everything should handled by the software All votes are anonymous / private and each developer has only one vote. Any comments or additions? ************************************************************************ The information contained in this message or any of its attachments is confidential and is intended for the exclusive use of the addressee.

Release Candidate, Test coordinator, ...

by Martin Fuchs

OK, there have been a few misunderstandings, which lead to the current problems and all this partly quite angry discussions. Let's go on and see what to do now. I recommend the following steps: 1.) Fix the console bug in question, and put a new tested release candidate on the web. 2.) update the release procedure (http://www.reactos.org/wiki/index.php/Release_Management_Overview) to include the test coordinator Of course this includes a discussion about the new content on the mailing list. 3.) make an official vote for the test coordinator and new release procedure. And Alex - I hope your break period will not last too long. Regards, Martin

Break, PC, Constituion and other misc issues

by Steven Edwards

Hi, I have been away from my computer for most of the past week and will be away for another week but wanted to weigh in on some outstanding issues. 1. I like the draft constituion Casper has ripped from Debian. 2. I nominate Casper to the Project Cordinator Position (I would like the job but I have personal issues going on right now that may keep me busy for the next year or so) 3. I think the PC job should be for a 1 year term with no more than 2 consecutive terms. I don't like the idea of re-electing someone over and over again even if they are doing a good job. How do we know if someone could do a even better job? Don't bother replying directly to me unless you just want to share comments with others. I might not reply for a while. I would like to have votes for these issues as soon as possible. Thanks Steven __________________________________ Yahoo! Music Unlimited Access over 1 million songs.

Endianness

by Bart Grantham

Sorry to barge onto the list with what may be an offtopic post, but I am very curious about how married ReactOS is to little-endianness. Is there something intrinsic about how Windows is architected that would prevent ReactOS from being ported to a big-endian platform? I noticed that the inital work on the PPC port was done with the CPU in little-endian mode. Was this for convenience or was this a technical decision? Definitely not an important topic but if someone could satisfy my curiousity, I'd be grateful. Thanks, Bart

In that respect, although the DBA has the power to change it as they see fit, it would be very silly to do so. There will always be some level at which the results could be changed. If we had a secretary, some could break into their computer and alter the results, or they could be bribed. I think we have to accept this and draw a line at what we consider an acceptable, reliable and trustworthy control system. I think using the forums is the best way of removing the power of controlling the votes from everyone. I know you can be trusted not to alter the database, in the same way I can be trusted not to break into the database and alter it myself.

Although everyone can see the vote status, it's not possible to see who voted for a particular option. It's only evident that 'someone' has voted. You could even go as far as setting your board preferences so that your name is not shown as being online when you logon. This will give complete anonymity.

With the new login system it would be no problem to control that only committers can vote. This way we would have a clean overlook what decisions were taken and what was decided exactly.

UI related bugs (IMO) that need followup.

This is mostly directed at mindflayer (mf). Looking over the BZ database for 0.2.8, there are several bugs I would like the UI team to look over, followup, or investigate. 448 - Message Box Icons http://www.reactos.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=448 449 - File Format Icons http://www.reactos.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=449 642 - Hotkeys not supported. http://www.reactos.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=642 691 - ReactOS Explorer needs a configurable menu delay. http://www.reactos.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=691 692 - Taskbar buttons are not centered in taskbar. http://www.reactos.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=692 843 - The focus rectangle is sometimes on the wrong button http://www.reactos.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=843 855 - Cannot sort by column in Task Manager http://www.reactos.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=855 903- Detect 640x480 and adjust the resolution automatically http://www.reactos.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=903 904 - Start, Search, search.. does nothing visible, please add messagebox http://www.reactos.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=904 905 - Need mouse speed adjustment in mouse control panel. http://www.reactos.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=905 906- There is a blank control panel icon, please label. http://www.reactos.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=906 There are others, but this is a start.

Release process

by Ge van Geldorp

I'm trying to keep this as non-personal and technical as possible. I did include names, most people will guess the names anyway. Yesterday, Robert announced on the IRC channel that he had put RC1 on SourceForge. Immediately, some people jumped on him, demanding to know why he did that without the approval of the Testing Coordinator. This surprised me very much. Not only do we all of a sudden have a TC (I'm not the only one surprised about that: http://www.reactos.org/pipermail/ros-dev/2005-October/005250.html), but it seems that the TC has veto powers over publishing as well. Please don't get me wrong, I think Andrew (WaxDragon) is doing a great job with the testing (much of the increased stability can be attributed to better testing), and I certainly would have voted for him if such a vote had taken place. But that's the problem: Alex put a page on the Wiki (http://www.reactos.org/wiki/index.php/ReactOS_Testing_Coordinator) and appointed Andrew as TC. In my book, that makes him Alex' testing coordinator, not the ReactOS project testing coordinator. Naming Andrew TC is only a minor problem as far as I'm concerned, after all, he's the right guy for the job, the only problem is the procedure followed. I do have a major problem with the role definition as presented on the Wiki though. I want to focus on "The TC can decide as his will which bugs to promote to Blocker status (thereby blocking a new release)" for now. This is simply unacceptable to me. End of 2003, beginning of 2004 we've had a long discussion about the release process. In the end, general concencus was reached on the text presented here: http://www.reactos.org/wiki/index.php/Release_Management_Overview. There was no formal vote, since we didn't do those at that time, but at the time it was very clear that everyone agreed to it. As far as I know, no ammendments to this document have been approved, so it still stands as a valid, agreed-upon process for the ReactOS project. (To make it absolutely clear: the TC Wiki page is just some text that someone wrote, it does not have the same status.) If you feel that the Release Management Overview is not up to date or otherwise needs to be changed, draft an amendment and put it to vote. Until that happens, we're all bound by the current version. At the time, we agreed we should do time-based releases, a new release every two months. Basically it would be a snapshot of the tree at that time, much like the Wine project does with its monthly releases. After branching a RC1 would be put out. Period. No mention of "we put out a RC1 when all blocker bugs have been fixed and the TC has approved the release". On the contrary, the reason to put out a RC1 was to find as much bugs as possible and hopefully fix them before the final release. The idea behind the time-based releases is "release early, release often" (see the famous Cathedral/Bazaar article, http://www.catb.org/~esr/writings/cathedral-bazaar/cathedral-bazaar/), you release even if you know about some bugs. So, do I think we shouldn't have "blocker" bugs at all? Let me put it this way: if none of the 30 devs feel a bug is important enough to be fixed in the feature freeze period before a release, I do question the severity of the bug. The time-based releases started to go wrong at the end of last year. 0.3 seemed around the corner at that moment, so we decided to postpone the release a bit (we did that before with the 0.2 release, which worked out ok). But now, one thing lead to another, and we completely forgot about the release schedule. I was very pleased to see we were picking up the schedule again, with 0.2.8 being released 2-3 months after 0.2.7. I feel very strongly that we should continue this, go back to the original plan of making snapshot releases every two months. Of course, we should try to stabilize the releases as much as possible, but I would like to remind everyone of this quote from the Wine release announcements, which applies to us equally well: "This is still a developers only release. There are many bugs and unimplemented features. Most applications still do not work correctly.". A final word of support for Robert: He did EXACTLY what he was supposed to do by placing RC1 on SourceForge and I completely back him on his decision. Gé van Geldorp.

Coordinators

by Rick Langschultz

There has been a great deal of talk lately about coordinators. In my opinion there should be: kernel coordinator - controls the development of the kernel. device driver coordinator - makes sure device drivers are written and code managed. network coordinator - makes sure networking is complete before 0.3.0 or other release. User interface coordinator - enables the UI is stable and allows users to get a great ReactOS experience. testing coordinator - this team will test reactos on various hardware bits. They will keep a log of what hardware bits work and those that need support - for instance on Virtual PC (latest Mac OS X) enabling USB support makes ReactOS crash. A list of that hardware needs to be supported -- eventually. release coordinator - Once a release is scheduled this team makes sure releases are released on time. web coordinator - this team managers the web aspects of ReactOS. This team is pretty much complete. and IRC coordinator - this coordinator will keep logs of what has been discussed on the IRC channels. A daily list of main topics will be available on the wiki. This will keep developers up to speed on what is happening on IRC if they are away, or if someone has a quick message for other teams. These are suggested teams. Each team should have a coordinator and keep a log of information for each team. The coordinators should be able to communicate with other coordinators of other teams. Once weekly they should have a personal chat on IRC or email discussing the next release or feature addition. This is the way my company operates and it is very efficient.

ReactOS Development Coordinator

by Jason Filby

Hi all Before anyone else slips this through (I kid, I kid!), I would like us to move to vote on a ReactOS Development Coordinator. Before we vote, anyone that wants to run, please step up. The DC would really have the responsibility of facilitating developers. I don't know if we already have a page on this, but I would say this means helping other developers reach their potential in contributing to ReactOS through development. This also entails facilitating communication within the team and with other teams (testing, UI, translation). I'd like some discussion on this thread as to the role of the DC to prevent future confusion. Regards Jason

RE: suggestion to close (was Re: [ros-dev] Prelude to voting for the Testing Coordinator Roles andResponsibilities.)

by Murphy, Ged (Bolton)

I like and agree with all 4 of your suggestions. -----Original Message----- From: Royce Mitchell III [mailto:royce3@ev1.net] Sent: 17 October 2005 13:32 To: ReactOS Development List Subject: suggestion to close (was Re: [ros-dev] Prelude to voting for the Testing Coordinator Roles andResponsibilities.) Here's a combination of various suggestions to hopefully begin to close this matter: 1) Go with Gé's suggestion and rename our candidates to x.x.x-FF and x.x.x-CF respectively. 2) TC has no power to block FF - doesn't make sense to do so. 3) TC has power to block CF, subject to be overruled by a vote should a majority feel it is not critical enough. 4) No matter which way we enter CF, it takes an informal vote on the ML to drop back to FF for major discovered bugs - but any single developer can request and be granted a formal vote. Andrew, would you still be willing to run for TC and continue the absolutely fantastic work you've done there given these, assuming everybody would agree to them? ************************************************************************ The information contained in this message or any of its attachments is confidential and is intended for the exclusive use of the addressee.

Prelude to voting for the Testing Coordinator Roles and Responsibilities.

by WaxDragon

Hello everyone. I think there is alot of time and energy being wasted regarding the Testing Coordinator role, and it's responsibilities. First the responsibilites need to be solidified. When I started acting in the TC role, this was the outline I was shown by Alex, and agreed to perform: http://www.reactos.org/wiki/index.php/ReactOS_Testing_Coordinator I am pretty pleased with the description, and have managed to balace performing these responsibilities with having a real life, wife and child included. Seems everyone agrees I am doing acceptably. I've tried to review the stability of ReactOS about once a week, since it takes about 4 to 5 solid hours to build debug and release builds, install them, load test applications and check out regressions, bugs, and newly working features. I've tried to keep the bugzilla database up to date, and filled with "Good Bugs", and I even wrote up a wiki article on how to do so. http://www.reactos.org/wiki/index.php/File_Bugs. I have tried to steer people away from reporting bugs in the IRC channel and the forums. I am usually available on IRC, and occationally surf the forums for bug reports and reminders. The last part of the obligations of the TC is the working applicaitons list, and when Alex and I discussed this, he came up with the example listed, but it was understood that the format of list was flexible. This is sort of what the "State of the Repository" emails have been about. I am collecting notes on a testing method than can be applied by our more inclined users, and a way to integrate a "testing database" that can show the status of apps using reports submitted by users or a testing team. I am also working on updating the parts of the wiki that involves testing in some manner, including building the source (and setting up the environment), using virtual machines to test, debugging, filing bugs and so on.. Please review and discuss. I would like to have the vote as soon as possible. Thanks for everyone's support, WD -- <arty> don't question it ... it's clearly an optimization

RE: [ros-dev] Constitution

by Murphy, Ged (Bolton)

This sounds reasonable. Phpbb can use the feature whereby only a set group can post in a certain section of the forum, in this case, the developer group in the voting section. This also gives the added bonus of being a secret ballot, as Ge requested. Comments can be made without polluting the topic, and the results can be written to the wiki. -----Original Message----- From: Freworld [mailto:michael@freeworld.net] Sent: 17 October 2005 09:19 To: ReactOS Development List Subject: Re: [ros-dev] Constitution Perhaps we should vote on the website rather than on the mailinglist? The mailinglist could be used for the discussion about what exactly the vote will be and to make the vote public with a link (most people don't look at the website but at the mailinglist). With the new login system it would be no problem to control that only committers can vote. This way we would have a clean overlook what decisions were taken and what was decided exactly. If there is an interest in this I would implement it into the website.

Jason ----------------------------------- I am not a developer, but i am an adult man, with some experience with team working and have been reading this mailing list since the begining, and what can i say? First: I have seen Alex Ionescu apologicing, often, so yes, drop IRONY, Alex is a great listener, and NO! it is not easy to find people who would apologice nowadays. Second: I saw the loss of focus in this proyect for a long time, with the largely delayed 0.3.0, and it have being people like Alex, Filip, Ge, Waxdragon, Tabor... who took the torch and carried the proyect for a full year. Third: I have seen Alex Ionescu as the one in the center of all discusions, and he could be fast to answer, but he proved to be as fast to apologice, and that i have not seen from some other developers. Four: It IS NORMAL, to have discussions where you are working in such a big proyect, not everyone can have the same vision of a whole OS, but what have NO sense, is to harass people for doing their work well, just cause there is not a F* paper about their "election". Fith: I thought this was an open source project, so people commit if they want, if they dont they dont, period. Harassing people wont grow the developer base. I have been following this proyect before 0.2 was released, i even submited some documentation and i wonder if i have been wasting my time. Sorry if i look a bit angry, but i AM a bit angry as i see several good developers force to leave for this kind of avoidable situations even if i can not (but wish) help with code.

OK, Time for a few words..

by TwoTailedFox

I've seen quite a few users propose ideas, such as a new GUI, or new functionality, only to be told it doesn't fit in with the Core Goal of ReactOS. ReactOS is all about creating a Win32-compatible Operating System. Now, later on, when the Kernel is sufficiently developed, we can do what Linux does, and create "Distributions". I had a look at the KDE/Ros Thread, and noted that a version of that, and GNOME may well be available for Windows next year. If the UI Team chooses to Grow, you can offer, for example mind you, a Core ReactOS System, with Windows Classic, and one or more "Distributions", with a different GUI, such as KDE or GNOME. Same goes for ReactOS in different 'roles'. Offering versions aimed at Workstations, Servers, or even for Educational/Testing use, would be feasible down the line.

by Magnus Olsen

Hi I should love to see some new gudieles how to get svn access. Today it seam anyone that provide with a patch that is coder can getting svn access. But I think we need start think how we should handle it, Here is some ideas how it can be 1. A maling list with patch or in Bugzila I love see a maling list with the patch 2. When people have submit the patch to us we start examing it see if it any godd (we are doning that already) 3. To get SVN write access u need lest provide patch in regual basic under 6 month lest, Then after 6 month the provider can write to mailing list see if can getting SVN write access before he grant SVN write access, the full name and mailing address must be provided, and we should have a vote if that provder can getting SVN write access. no accpect from all this rules. Yestday some was granted svn access his name was not on the mailing list why he got one, he did not write either on the mailing list asking for svn access that why I want see new guide lines how svn write access handles. so every one know how he is and why he was granted to be granted after few patcher are not accpect in my eys. For we are starting getting alot with people with svn write access. And new guide lines must be create. BestReagds Magnus Olsen

This is not the right fix... I will revert these changes when i come up with a proper fix. I also dont understand how this can fix bug 805 (eternal loop in thread windows cleanup routine). Even with your changes the eternal loop is still there, it just doesnt run out of stack? G. hbirr(a)svn.reactos.com wrote: > Don't use alloca in a macro, which may be used in a loop.

file copy during install

Hi, during install, I see the following two lines: (lib\setupapi\queue.c:1441) copy error 2 L"C:\\ReactOS\\inf\\ne2000.sys" -> L"C:\\ReactOS\\System32\\drivers\\ne2000.sys" (lib\setupapi\queue.c:1441) copy error 2 L"C:\\ReactOS\\inf\\pci.sys" -> L"C:\\ReactOS\\System32\\drivers\\pci.sys" Why does ROS try to copy drivers from the inf directory? - Hartmut

Winsock 2.2 Status

by Alex Ionescu

Hi, As many of you know, I've been working on Winsock for the last 3 weeks, then lost all my work. I have finished writing everything that I had lost and did some serious tests with MIRC. I want to update Ged, Waxdragon, Ge, Magnus and the others which were interested in a status report. MIRC uses some serious features, including asyncronous hostname lookups, which is an extremly complex part of ws2_32.dll. After fixing about 20 bugs (let me add a small note here: Microsoft has done some SERIOUSLY amazing work with MSVC 2005. The latest RC1 is now even faster, since the internal build system was updated and now supports multi-threaded compiles: ws2_32 takes me 2.5 seconds (officially timed) to compile AND link AND rc with full optimizations + pdb generated... not only did fast rebuild times help out during testing, but the integrated debugger just keeps getting better too. Finding those 20 bugs was extremly easy), I was able to connect to MIRC by using /server irc.freenode.net and join the channels, identify and talk normally. DCC transfer worked as well. Almost all of the ws2_32 APIs were being called, and both TCP and UDP (from dnsapi) communication seemed to work fine. In other words, mirc was fully usable with my ws2_32.dll My next test app is firefox. As of now, it loads fine but hangs at 100% cpu usage. I'm guessing it must be another small bug causing an inifite loop somewhere. Since it's 4AM now, I'll go sleep and check it out tomorrow. Best regards, Alex Ionescu

Reactos 0.2.8 RC-1 is out

by Robert Köpferl

You can find a new version on SF.NET Initial network support and some more complex apps as firefox respectively seamonkey seem to work. Against to what I wrote, there's no additional app included in this RC. I try to include some in the qemu variant for the next RC. And for the intermediate time I question you to download the RC1 and try it out, PLUS report bugs into our nice bugzilla!

Actually, come to this of it, you make a fair point. I'm dead against having application code in the trunk, as I'm sure everyone else is. However shipping a few 'enhancements' with the prebuilt release builds can only help with much needed publicity. (assuming they meet licensing demands). They can always be dropped as we get closer to the 1.0 build (where I think user choice should take precedence via the package manager) WaxDragon mentioned including some of our apps like Solitaire with 0.2.8. Although everyone seemed to like the idea, we don't have a definitive answer yet. Are we going ahead with this one?

Tenative Blocker list for 0.2.8

by WaxDragon

I've gone though bugzilla and reviewed most of the bugs, here are the ones that are blockers, might become blockers, or caveats we need to keep in mind. I'm sure we will get some real blockers when we release RC1, but this is a start. 805 - Shutdown issues http://www.reactos.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=805 This one MUST be fixed, it affects the default install configuration. 493 - excessive repainting in tree-view controls http://www.reactos.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=493 I would really like to see some action on this, it renders regedit near useless, and I've seen this bug in other list style controls. Pegs the CPU. 688 - AllocConsole fails on real hardware due to i8042prt http://www.reactos.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=688 This is one of the blockers from 0.2.7 that we shipped with. Is there anything that can be done about this? Can we put some debug info into the debug builds so we can gather information? 703 - ReactOS is a fat big. Minimum mem reqs exceeded. http://www.reactos.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=703 This one is partially fixed. 32MB installs fail on vmware due to the speed of the file copy operation. 880 - Some dlls stop display output when starting in CLI http://www.reactos.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=880 Not a huge bug that many people see, but this is holding up hpoussin's PnP work. Discuss, WD -- <arty> don't question it ... it's clearly an optimization

Re: [ros-dev] Font problem on Japanese version of ReactOS

by tsk

Thank you for telling me that bug. I tried to use outline mplus, which doesn't include bitmap data: http://reactos-j.sourceforge.jp/up/img/083.png and tried to use Mona Font with WaxDragon's freetype.dll: http://reactos-j.sourceforge.jp/up/img/084.png Modified freetype.dll works well! But I think there still exist some bug with font rendering. One of them is a line break. ReactOS automatically insert line feeds at space. But Japanese text doesn't use space basically, so ReactOS can't insert line feeds to proper position. Many screenshots: http://reactos-j.sourceforge.jp/up/img/085.zip > mf suggested one could comment out #define > TT_CONFIG_OPTION_EMBEDDED_BITMAPS in > lib/freetype/include/freetype/config/ftoption.h to DISABLE the SBIT > support.

Firefox progress

For a long time we've had problems with firefox hanging during startup. Well, I have some good news, as of r18418 it at least shows its main window, see http://www.reactos.nl/pics/ff1.png There are still lots of other problems, but I'm pretty sure we can fix those too in the next month or so.

A call for 0.2.8

by WaxDragon

I know how most of the devs feel about releases, but I think it's time to branch 0.2.8. After a period of instability, trunk is now showing stability. GvG and Ged reported surprising stability from the LinuxWorld demo builds, I personally had favorable results from my September State of the Repo tests. Last night I was able to build a ReactOS bootcd under r18404, and then take that bootcd and install it under qemu, under ROS! Gunnar's win32k changes have had some time to bake in and seem ok*. There have been approximately 1800 commits since 0.2.7, and I want those changes to get some general use.. I don't want to *release* now, but I want to tag the branch now, and maybe release in two weeks (which would make three months sine 0.2.7). Putting out an RC1 would give the codebase exposure to the general public, who may find problems we as devs overlook. This will also give devs and testers a change to focus on some of the big issues I see at the moment, *like this mysterious hang we see on shutdown. Also, those who wish to move forward can do so, even breaking / destabilising the tree. Giving us two or three weeks for testing release canidates will also allow for the PnP/USB and ws2_32 work to be merged in before the release. WD -- <arty> don't question it ... it's clearly an optimization

ReactOS UI Team - Concept, Plan, and: help wanted

by Aleksey Bragin

Hi, our UI Team Coordinator - mf - asked me to sent this email on his behalf, because unfortunately mails from his address doesn't reach any mailing-list. Here is the original message: From: mf <mf(a)mufunyo.net> Date: October 6, 2005 1:20:56 AM GMT+04:00 Subject: ReactOS UI Team - Concept, Plan, and: help wanted Greetings ReactOS developers and interested parties! For the unintroduced, I am your humble UI coordinator. In addition, I also made some graphics for the project. -Concept- I am here to remind you of a post that was made in the ReactOS user forum, written by crappish (Mikko Tikkanen). In it the author wrote of the need of a consistent user interface, the need of people that actually have knowledge of such things, and how these people would have to be in charge of enforcing such an interface. They should be familiar with Windows, know how to make things accessible and newbie- friendly, and have enough creativity to improve on existing concepts. In addition to that, there should be someone who represents this team and can interface it with the rest of the project, and make sure everything is the way everyone wants it to be. Now, this representative has been chosen. But there is no team to back him up! -Recruiting- So getting down to business. The UI team is recruiting two kinds of people. Primarily: Programmers who have sufficient knowledge to hack other people's code, even if said code is rooted deeply in system libraries. Skill in writing user interfaces and piecing together dialog resources. No advanced skills beyond that required. This is most important, since developers in this category can get straight to business and get started on improving ReactOS. Secondarily: Interface concept designers who have advanced knowledge of human interfacing, easy access, logical positioning, and the creativity to improve and expand on existing ideas. This is a secondary category because a) right now there is little to do in this respect, b) there are already two (counting Mikko?) of these people in ReactOS, and c) for every 1 concept designer, there can be up to 10 implementing developers. Even more appreciated, would be someone who fits both gloves and can write code AND design interfaces. Sadly, experience proves that these two traits don't usually come together in one person. And! Just as important, though not actively recruited, I welcome icon designers, graphic designers, font designers (that includes you, wierd_w!), sound effect samplers, and programmers willing to implement missing UI features (think of things such as extended cursor/icon support, alpha blitting, runtime freetype configuration, recycle bin functionality, control panel, autorun support, etc), on individual application (mail me at mf(a)mufunyo.net). -Plan- The plan(tm) to kickstart the UI team is as follows: Our first goal will be to make the surface experience of ReactOS familiar. Surface in this context means the things a user will see during and after bootup. This mainly involves modifying explorer; to display a consistent and familiar start menu, and to show a friendly explorer when My Computer or the Explore link is opened. This means making all the surface icons consistent (my task), modifying explorer's interface (the 'programmer' category), and figuring out the best layout for the start menu (the 'designer' category). There is no plan past this first task, because I cannot predict how small or big the team is going to be, what feedback we are going to get, and how fast things will move. And that's it for my first big announcement. I hope this will get some discussion going, and some balls rolling. I would also like to take this opportunity to request a mailing list for the UI team, this should have been set up right after the coordinator vote was over, but it wasn't-- so to whoever's in charge of that, I count on you. Thanks. Please reply to this mail only on the general list or to me in person (if you're not on the list and only get digests), it is only crossposted in ros-dev to get a wider range of attention. Thanks for reading, mf.

Problem with VMware Workstation 5.5

by Mike Swanson

for the most part, all is well. However, upon the installation of video drivers using the VMware Tools ISO, ReactOS fails to install the driver. I believe this is simply because of a new directory structure to accomodate both 32-bit and 64-bit Windows operating systems.. 32-bit driver: D:\program files\VMware\VMware Tools\Drivers\video\winnt2k\32Bit 64-bit driver (probably not wanted unless someone's doing a x86_64 port): D:\program files\VMware\VMware Tools\Drivers\video\winnt2k\64Bit -- Mike

Idea for a new part in headers of .rc files

by David Hinz

Hey guys, when I just translated format, I stunbled over one thing: What if somebody changed the content of a string after I translated it? After some minutes, I had a easy solution for that problem: The En.rc gets a little line in it's head-comment with a revision number. Each time somebody changes or adds a string in the En.rc, he sets the revision number +1 and so all translators have an easy to control indicator, if they need to translate something or not. But I think one thing should be clear, if there just has been corrected a spelling mistake and not something important, the revision number won't be touched. Now some example headers: in the EN.rc: /* * Moved all hardcoded strings to En.rc. * By Magnus Olsen 2005 * * Revision: 1 */ in my De.rc: /* * Moved all hardcoded strings to En.rc. * By Magnus Olsen 2005 * First German Translation by David Hinz 20051010 * * Translated Revision 1 of En.rc */ This is just an idea, but I think this could save a lot of work on bigger applications than format...

Re: [ros-dev] ReactOS UI Team - Concept, Plan, and: help wanted

by Maritn "E.T." Misuth

To my knowledge, it is completely posible to write helper apps in JavaScript to function with XUL. At least as extension modules for apps already using the whole thing. For example I think that ChatZilla extension for mozilla is written that way, in pure JavaScript. But if XUL can be used as a core part of some system's dialog/windows rendering I think it is completely possible to create relatively simple facility to have complete standalone apps in JavaScript. It's a long time since I've played with XUL, but if you have FireFox, you can start to play with it right now, and create for example simple dialogs & windows with radio buttons etc using that language and CSS styles. PS: Yes it was an accindent, I wanted to send the mail to the list, sorry ;).

RE: [ros-dev] RE: Ros-dev Digest, Vol 14, Issue 25

by Murphy, Ged (Bolton)

I'm not quite sure what everyone is getting at here. Every file has it's entire history logged, easily accessible through your local tree under the context menu, or through Viewcvs on the web. Changes also go out through the svn mailing list. Any closer queries can me viewed via 'diff'ing to any revision you want. However, it would be easy to write a quick tool to assess local timestamps after svn updates for set file types. This would quickly tell you what has changed without the need for viewing the svn logs.

Watching the svn all the time is not that easy than just looking at a number. There could also be a little helper app that scans all .rc files in my language and all en.rcs for revision differences and shows me, where I have to translate something. Then I can look in the svn what actually has been changed. It just makes things easier for translators.

crash in usetup if an allocation size is given for a call to NtCreateFile

by Hartmut Birr

Hi, I've done some little changes in usetup for optimisation. One thing is the decompressing of files from a cabinet container. If the destination file exist, it is created with the create disposition FILE_OVERWRITE and without a pointer to the allocation size. If I add an allocation size pointer (cabinet.c.diff), usetup does crash after copying of all files and creating the registry.

RE: 18273: create some start menu entries for notepad, regedit and winefile

by Ge van Geldorp

> From: mf(a)svn.reactos.com > > create some start menu entries for notepad, regedit and winefile Do we really need/want the winefile link on the desktop? Especially since it is also present in the start menu now. If I recall correctly, the Command Prompt was put on the desktop 'cause at the time it was the only viable way to start programs, I think maybe even the Command Prompt link could go from the desktop now.

some thoughts

by D. Hazelton

I've been thinking about a chat I had with Alex Ionescu about the "userspace driver framework" that MS has put in Windows Vista for a couple of days now. Mostly I was trying to think of how they could create a secure system where the drivers could live outside the kernel and still manage to do the job of providing clean access to the hardware. I was doing this because I am just starting to take a look at the ReactOS code with an eye towards helping on the project. That being the case I decided to see if I could find a spot where I could fit my skills into the project. While I'm more geared towards fixing bugs or filling out places marked "TODO" the thought of userspace drivers - or rather, just the thought that such a system would allow for drivers that could die and not take the system with them - has caught my interest. At the current time the only way I can see this being done is by using the HAL to abstract all hardware and providing an API that, via the HAL, will allow for _AUTHENTICATED_ programs (aka drivers) to register themselves with the kernel and provide access to said devices. The access itself would best be handled by the drivers registering an interface that programs can use to call directly into the driver. This just leaves me with a simple problem to solve - should the interface be a COM/COM+ interface (or it's primitive, since I don't think anyone wants the lag having COM/COM+ in the kernel would cause) or should it be something simpler, like a UFS path ? DRH (if the PGP signature looks bad, the list probably modified the mail)

LinuxWorld report

by Ge van Geldorp

Just a quick report from LinuxWorld London. We've just finished the first day of the exhibition, lots of interest. What surprised me a bit was that the general awareness about the project was somewhat lower than last year in Frankfurt. I guess that 80-90% of the people we spoke last year had already heard about the project, that percentage was a lot lower here (more around 30%). Another pleasant surprise was the stability of the system. We ran it on an old laptop with a few applications: Quake 1, WinZip, IrfanView, AbiWord. On demand we showed some other apps like regedit, notepad, task manager. The system froze one time when a visitor played around with it, other than that no problems at all. Not a single kernel crash. We had to Tab-K to force a kernel check to show the BSOD to a visitor. I say let's bring out r18189 (I think...) as 0.2.8 (j/k). People were reacting very nicely. It was nice to see them picking up a flyer rather uninterestedly, start to read, and then suddenly turn back to watch the demo when they realized what the project was all about. Ge van Geldorp.

State of the Repository October 6th 2005

by WaxDragon

The stats: In Sepember, there were: 578 commits 98 bugs opened 94 bugs closed I wasn't able to determine the bugs that weere touched during the last month, since something made *all* bugs appear touched. A little change of format, I will review the closed bugs first, then go over the SVN commits in less detail than last month. *First of all, the new website has been released! This resolved about 10 bugs, many of which were the oldest in Bugzilla. Thanks to everyone involved with the new site, it looks great! * The taskmgr repainting bug was fixed. (583) * ReactOS currently installs with only 32MB. (debug builds too!) (703) ** Reopened, see test results below.. * Freeldr now checks for invalid dates from the BIOS. (716) * The last page of the installer is drawn correctly now. (735) * Many notepad fixes and enhancements. * Floppy support fixed. (753) * Control combos fixed, you can now Ctrl+D in Putty to logout. (763) * Last of the vmwinst.exe bugs fixed, can change resolution now. (764) * ncftp now works. (779) * Various regedit fixes and enhancements. * WinRAR installer works. (785) * vim.exe input works again. (796) Some of the SVN highlights: *Various notepad improvements and fixes. *Various regedit improvements and fixes. *LPC work *NDK work *Sync to Wine-20050830 *More win32k work *New CSR code *More rtl cleanup *0.2.7 was tagged *USB drivers added to bootcd *Ion's 17838 WIP code !!!! *Ntoskrnl header cleanups *"Text" test added to rosperf *Some new winefile icons *The TAB+ debug combos work again *GDB stub fixes *Vaious application leak fixes *Setupapi got alot of work this month *Simple TCP/IP Services added (tcpsvcs) *Simple Device Manager added (devmgr) and the usual pile of build and bug fixes. We also gained two developers this month! Lets welcome Bletch (npwoods) and GedMurphy! Lets start October off with r18248: (Here is the rough draft of the testing list I am using, feedback apriciated) (http://waxdragon.homeip.net/~ford/reactos/ros_regression_items.html) Installation: * Installs under both vmware and qemu hangs under vmware 5 with only 32MB completes first stage installer under qemu with 32MB, crashes on first reboot (see bug 703 for more details) Drivers: * PCNet driver works VMWare * vmx_svga (and vmwinst.exe) work under VMWare * Ne2000 driver works under QEmu * CL54XX video driver works under QEmu * floppy driver appears to work under both VMWare and QEmu * USB drivers (UHCI and usbhub) both load under VMWare5 Applications: (Tested under VMWare5 only) * Abiword 2.2.9 installs; opens, edits and saves files. * Info-ZIP UNZIP 5.42 unzips the OOo 1.1.4 install * OOo 1.1.4 unpacks, and starts to install, but NONE of the text is rendered on the installer pages. I fumbled my way though the installer by memory, and it even completed the file copy, but it appears to hang setting up the registry. I can't tell, no text. ;0) This is progress though. * Firefox has multiple issues still, both install and runtime. * OffByOne installer has issues, but the binaries run and load pages, slow and some issues (win32k?). * The Mozilla ActiveX Control 1.7.12 works with ibrowser, but needs msvcp60.dll to register the dlls. This is different that the 1.6 control. Eventhough, it seems to work a runtime, making ibrowser the best browser canidate. (Still can't type in it though.. bug 876) * dillo gets a UM exception trying to start * lynx 2.8.3 runs, gets hung loading pages occationally, can break out of load. works ok. * mIRC 6.16 installs (shortcut error), and can even connect to freenode by IP. Hopefully, Alex's ws2_32 will fix that. * jbmail installs and connects to my ISP pop3 server *by IP only* * Miranda IM 0.4.0.1 and 0.3.3.1 have multiple issues, both install though. * PuTTY works, still drops chars if you type too fast (really noticeable under debug/qemu). OTOH, I can use the Control+ combos now. I can log out and detach fom screen. * RealVNC viewer suffers from the same crash tcpsvcs does. Gunnar has a patch for this in bugzilla, will followup. * 7za (the commandline stand alone 7-Zip) works well. Shipped Apps (in-tree) * regedit still has the treeview bug, but due to recent work, I can actually create new keys and string values, and I can still import from the command line. You can export subtrees now also. PROGRESSION! * taskmanager has had some bugs fixes recently, but the System Cache setting now reads 0 after fixing it in windows. * Notepad has had alot of improvements, it's looking good. * winemine still doesn't work (black box) * Solitare works, but is still missing the menubar. REGRESSION. * ps works * mc starts * format still does nothing, just hangs * calc *seems* to work. * cat works * ftp works, but still can't tell the difference between ascii and binary transfers. * ncftp has progressed and you can use it for uploads and downloads, the only issue I am aware of is you cannot backspace. * ping works * ipconfig is getting bad data from the OS, but works fine under windows. * finger works * route works, and had some cosmetic improvements * netstat fails loading snmpapi.dll * hostname returns the name you filled in second stage setup now. ;0) * arp does not work, missing some of the plumbing. * telnet works, and seems to buffer input properly. * tcpsvcs crashes upon start up, seems that AfdSelect is setting DPCs will NULL procs. There is a patch from Gunnar (Bug 857) that addresses this, still needs more testing. Hoping to regression test it after this stupid email that has taken me three days. ;0) To end this note, I will point out a few bugs. We are still seeing fatal hangs on shutdown on some configurations. Also, during this testing, I corrupted the registry three times, will need to look into that. All and all, we have made progress. Keep up the good work! WD (If I forgot anything, or you have something to add, please reply to this note) -- <arty> don't question it ... it's clearly an optimization

Fwd: A new tool to interact with Bugzilla

by Martin Fuchs

Hi, I downloaded and tried the Deskzilla tool. Quite nifty. :-) But when trying to use it with the ReactOS Bugzilla at http://www.reactos.org/bugzilla/ I have problems to login. Is there some version incompatibility? Using it with Wine's and Castor's Bugzilla works quite well.

LinuxWorld London, 2nd day

by Ge van Geldorp

The second day of the show was very much like the first day. Not a single BSOD, my laptop hung twice after visitors played around a little bit. Basically the biggest problem I had was how to prevent loosing my voice, I'm obviously not used to talking as much as we did the these two days. There were some (Linux) magazines showing interest, Ged Murphy has their details. All in all I think it was a worthwile show and I'm looking forward to going to one of these shows again.

Developing on ReactOS

Plug and Play status - Device installation

by Hervé Poussineau

Hello, Since some weeks/months, I've done some work in setupapi.dll. I'm now able to install devices using provided .inf files, ie copy needed files and create registry entries. Syntax: rundll32.exe newdev.dll,DevInstall [InstanceID] where InstanceID is something like ACPI\PNP0501\1 or PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_7112&SUBSYS_00000000&REV_01\3&61aaa01&0&3A However, I've still some bugs and some missing features: - OpenSCManagerW freezes ReactOS [1] - CreateServiceW is unimplemented [2] - Service image path provided to CreateServiceW looks like "C:\ReactOS\System32\drivers\driver.sys", instead of "System32\drivers\driver.sys" [3] - You have no way to use a .inf file which is not in ReactOS\Inf directory [4] - Files to be copied are always searched in ReactOS\Inf directory (so they can't be found) [5] - Files to be copied need to be already decompressed (ie not in a .cab file) [6] - A reboot is needed before being able to use the newly installed device [7] - Having multiple times a same device is not supported, if the bus driver can't provide a unique DeviceID [8] - Last, but not least, device installation is not started automatically when a new device is found/plugged [9] [1] See bug #826: http://www.reactos.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=826 [2] In lib/advapi32/service/scm.c. It needs to call umpnpmgr.exe by RPC, as in OpenServiceW implementation [3] In lib/setupapi/dirid.c: the value returned by create_system_dirid() is always a full path [4] It's due to missing functionnality in newdev.dll (lib/newdev/*), which should ask the user when no driver is found [5] In lib/setupapi/queue.c. If a file can't be found, SetupCommitFileQueueW should ask the user where to find the file [6] We need to support the [SourceDisksNames] section in .inf files [7] Maybe calling IoInvalidateDeviceRelations() at the end of SetupDiInstallDevice (lib/setupapi/devinst.c) would be enough [8] We need to generate a ParentIdPrefix entry in registry in some(?) cases [9] I suppose it should be initiated by umpnpmgr.exe, when it sees a device for the first time Hervé PS: If someone is interested to work on one of this parts, please answer this email

My working copy depends on those very files. Disabling compilation of csr also forces me to disable the vms module: not a great loss, but we had only two left: os2 and posix are broken. Keeping the whole modules compilable should be a goal, even if they are minimal subsystems (if ROS is just Win32, well, let's rename it back "FreeWin95"). -- :Emanuele Aliberti

There was a problem in the configuration of the firewall between the internet and the university network to which www.reactos.org is connected.

installation methods?

by Bernd Blaauw

Which are current installation methods for ReactOS? so far only an ISO it seems, which for non-emulators requires to write/burn a disk, turn it into a drive that can read burned media (not all cdrom drives can do this), and also requires El-Torito support from the system BIOS. That last part might be worked around, if not supported by the system, by using Smart Boot Manager, which provides its own Eltorito stack. Questions: -why do an installed ROS, a ROS LiveCD and a ROS installCD all have a directory (root_of_drive)\REACTOS ? This makes it complex to have all 3 on 1 drive. WindowsXP/BartPE can use C:\WINDOWS (installed), C:\I386 (setup) , C:\MINIPE (LiveCD) for example -Is it possible to copy the contents of the install CD to a 2nd fat partition, and setup FreeLDR (on diskette for example) to boot that directory? some line like: multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)\partition(2)\ReactOS="Install ReactOS from D:\REACTOS to C:\REACTOS" if the ReactOS install CD used any other directory name than a hardcoded '\REACTOS', then 1 partition would have been enough. multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)\partition(1)\ROSsetup="Install ReactOS from C:\ROSSETUP to C:\REACTOS" -How do I obtain FreeLDR, other than "installing ReactOS in an emulator first and selecting to install bootloader to A:" ? Can't find the old DOS INSTALL.COM/EXE file along with both FREELDR.SYS/INI -Does installing ReactOS from harddisk actually work? At least it prevents users having to provide controller/cdrom drivers (be it DOS or Win32 drivers). -Anyone tried ROS LiveCD + QEMU (without configuring a harddisk!) ? doesn't bootup, might be a QEMU issue. Vmware + LiveCD works, though C was assigned which isn't nice in case you decide to partition in a GUI Diskmanagement subsystem. In best case, FreeLDR or a minisetup would be able to handle a (zipped) ISO by extracting the files inside it to a temporary location, and start setup from there. Is there any premade FreeLDR diskette image available somewhere? Bernd

It is replacing clear and easily debuggable code by non-standard macros which are impossible to debug. It is also going to create problems when people which are not used to them (such as myself): 1) Have no idea what some LIST_FOR_EACH_SAFE thing is doing vs LIST_FOR_EACH vs InsertListLifoSafeMaybeLoopOrWhoKnowsWhat 2) Will never code using these macros, and thus the source will become full of both methods, which is totally ugly. Sometimes, especially in kernel code, it's much better to have an expanded logic then to use a macro. I wrote a great majority of the code that has just been, imho, pollutted with these macros, and I don't appreciate for someone to barge in and change my code for some macro that I don't understand, nor wish to, because it only causes problems. I take great care of the code I write and "own" it (in the programming term) so that if a bug in it arises, I can quickly identify it and be held responsible for it. The addition of these macros hinders that effort. I don't mind someone using them inside his or her own code. I just mind their usage in ntoskrnl, and even more so when it overwrites the clean, clear code that I've written and am used to debugging. Best regards, Alex Ionescu

software purchase for web forums

by Steven Edwards

Hello, The web teams has requested that we purchase a software package to handle our forum discussion on the website. The purchase cost is $160 http://www.vbulletin.com/ We have about $90 in paypal donated for misc needs and this seems like a good buy if we really need it. After our hack of the website this may be a good thing. I would like to have a vote up or down about the purchase. If the majority of the project supports this then once we reach the required amount we will purchase. Please reply to me in private, the foundation or general lists only. Do not follow this thread on ros-dev. Thanks Steven __________________________________ Yahoo! Mail - PC Magazine Editors' Choice 2005 http://mail.yahoo.com

Subsystems, how to write one

by crashfourit

What are the relevent ReactOS API calls for building a dynamicly loadable subsystem? I'm asking this because I can't find the API documentation on the website. (I looks more like the documentation is not yet completed.) Other questions relevent to this: How do I register a new executible file format? I.E. coff. How do I register a new interrupt vector(s). What are the API to control v86 prosses? If y'all want to know what subsystem I want to write, it is DOS. This is because I'm more familar with programing in DOS.

New website

by Ge van Geldorp

Thursday afternoon (UTC) the website will be unavailable for some time. We're going to make the switch to the new website design then. At the same time, we're moving to www.reactos.org as the primary name for the website, with www.reactos.com being an alias (you'll be redirected automatically to www.reactos.org if you use the old name). The mailing lists are also going to be moved from reactos.com to reactos.org, so if you have filtering in place please take this into account. Many thanks to Michael Wirth and especially Klemens Friedl who put a lot of effort in the new site. Gé van Geldorp.

You use a macro to hide a 'for' loop, and later in the source you use a 'break', 'continue' or 'goto' statement to leave the loop or to bypass some code. /* Find entry with SortKey greater than or equal to the passed-in SortKey */ LIST_FOR_EACH(ReturnEntry, &DeviceQueue->DeviceListHead, KDEVICE_QUEUE_ENTRY, DeviceListEntry) { /* Check if keys match */ if (ReturnEntry->SortKey >= SortKey) { /* We found it, so just remove it */ RemoveEntryList(&ReturnEntry->DeviceListEntry); break; } } Such a source is simply unreadable. - Hartmut

It connects to subsystems 1 and 2. In general, all CSR calls made by kernel32.dll are easily identifiable as calls to either subsystem from their code (the subsystem code is in the upper 16 bits). The GUI subsystem's functions, if you were wondering, are: SrvExitWindowsEx SrvEndTask SrvLogon SrvRegisterServicesProcess SrvActivateDebugger SrvGetThreadConsoleDesktop SrvDeviceEvent SrvRegisterLogonProcess SrvCreateSystemThreads SrvRecordShutdownReason

Moving onto 0.3 with networking

by Murphy, Ged (Bolton)

As one of our main features for 0.3, we can't progress out of the 0.2.* releases until it is either complete, or the goalposts are moved. With nobody working on networking at the moment, 0.2.8 seems likely and I'm starting to wonder how far into the 0.2.* releases we are going to go. Also, at what stage will the network model be enough to satisfy a 0.3 release? Does this just mean stable, basic TCP/IP with basic ws2_32 support? How many drivers need to be supported? What about service providers for ws2_32.dll (Mswsock.dll is stubbed apart from TransmitFile, and Wshtcpip.dll is non existent) What about NDIS? Change in circumstances has just released most of my evenings now, however although I'm starting to work on networking apps, and hopefully soon User Mode code, my coding skills and windows knowledge are not yet up to a level where I can tackle the more in-depth stuff, especially kernel mode (eek) Does any one plan to, or is anyone going to volunteer to take up networking? I would be more than happy to throw all my spare time into helping them in any way possible. If we glean some information from this email, I can start to document it in the wiki (we don't have much networking documentation in there at the moment) Regards, Ged. ************************************************************************ The information contained in this message or any of its attachments is confidential and is intended for the exclusive use of the addressee.

Starcraft Setup BSODs due to KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED

by Reuben Perelman

Launching setup.exe on the starcraft CD immediatly causes a BSOD. Part of what it says on the BSOD is says: "The Problem Seems to be caused by the following file: win32k.sys KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED" Attached is a screenshot of the BSOD. I would have put this on bugzilla if bugzilla hadn't given me the error: " The 'bug number' // is invalid. If you are trying to use QuickSearch, you need to enable JavaScript in your browser. To help us fix this limitation, add your comments to bug 70907 <http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=70907>."

OT: HTA Embedding

by Rick Langschultz

Hello, I know this is a bit off topic but I was wondering if anyone knew how to embed an HTA inside a c++ application. I know that the Add / Remove Programs control panel applet uses HTAs to display registry settings. I want to do sort of the same thing with my app. Rick Langschultz rlangschultz(a)cox.net (Home) rlangschultz(a)ellemaespa.com (Work) rlangschultz(a)email.uophx.edu (School)

moving discussion of freedce/win32 to freedce-devel

by Luke Kenneth Casson Leighton

dear reactos developers, after receiving some much appreciated advice i have made a decision: i will not be posting to the ros-dev lists (unless invited to do so). if you wish to discuss the porting of freedce to win32, or to find out about its progress, the freedce-devel mailing list is where i believe that to be most appropriate. l. p.s. banning people on freedce-devel is not even considered let alone discussed. that's mainly because not much is discussed there at all in fact, it's a pretty low-traffic list :) -- -- <a href="http://lkcl.net">http://lkcl.net</a> --

Re: [ros-dev] found it! the "dce porting" header file

by Luke Kenneth Casson Leighton

dear hackbunny, regarding your comments about screaming in pain and having teeth pulled because of pthreads-win32, i am so so sorry: i cannot help you there. i don't have the time nor the expertise. i posted (some time afterwards) a message indicating just how many occurrences of DCE exception macros there are - it's literally hundreds. at least pthreads-win32 "gets something going". i believe strongly in "GetItWorking(tm)" and "RewriteLaterAfterProvingItWorks(tm)". i _don't_ believe in throwing everything away just because one way to get things up and running quickly happens not to be the nicest solution. it's a matter of priorities. plus, like i said in my previous reply, DCE exceptions deal with networking and memory errors in a runtime environment where application designers _know_ that there's going to be order-of-milliseconds delays. the usual speed-critical criteria which make people run away screaming about exceptions simply do not apply. l. -- -- <a href="http://lkcl.net">http://lkcl.net</a> --

Re: [ros-dev] found it! the "dce porting" header file

by Luke Kenneth Casson Leighton

dear hyperion, sorry for not getting back to this one earlier. regarding hacking up a replacement for the DCE compatible threads library: GREAT. i have made a start by removing the POSIX Draft 4 threading requirements, which has been on the cards for like ... ermmm... five years. see http://sf.net/projects/freedce, cvs requirements, see dcethreads-win32 give me a while to commit what i've done so far. there's actually very little code left, because of pthreads-win32. the only stuff left in dcethreads-win32 is actually the DCE exception handling stuff. which i understand is right in your area of expertise :) btw: one important point. it is NOT, i repeat NOT important that "speed be of the essence". the usual argument "exceptions are expensive and therefore evil" simply doesn't apply. exceptions in DCE are used to catch memory and _networking_ errors. _networking_ errors. order of milliseconds and greater. DCE/RPC applications (the Windows NT 4.0 Domains and Administrative suite are good - and relevant - examples) are _designed_ with networking errors and networking delays taken into consideration and into account. the only instance where someone didn't bother to take networking into account is the idiots who ported win16 (yes, win16, remember we're talking Windows NT 3.1 here - where do you think win32 came from? not from the idiots in the win95 team :) printing API to spoolss (taking the "blobs" as [in,out] parameters - imagine what _that_ does when you have the double-function-call thing, the first one to ask how big a "blob" to allocate). but i digress... -- -- <a href="http://lkcl.net">http://lkcl.net</a> --

Re: [ros-dev] found it! the "dce porting" header file

[dear ros-dev developers, i'm "on-list" but have "receive postings disabled" because i have far too much on my plate to deal with right now. i'm sorry i haven't got back to people] saveliy, hi, you asked if freedce is useable: the answer is yes [with conditions]. freedce is the _reference_ implementation from http://opengroup.org/dce. and it is autoconf'd. therefore, asking "is it fully featured" the answer is it _is_ the features :) :) now. microsoft "embraced and extended" DCE/RPC actually the 1.1 reference implementation because it's OSF 1.1 Free Software BSD-Compatible license... what am i doing, what am i doing, see this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MSRPC :) i've added certain "missing" features to freedce and it's now on-wire compatible and IDL-compatible with MSRPC. what it _doesn't_ yet do is output MSRPC-binary-compatible stuff which people are referring to on wine lists as "type libraries". hope this helps. l. -- -- <a href="http://lkcl.net">http://lkcl.net</a> --

scared! freedce-win32 in a cvs repository near you

by Luke Kenneth Casson Leighton

right. 48 hours later, i've got a first version of freedce-win32 to try out, which i'm actually a bit frightened of running. just in case it works :) thank goodness for pthreads-win32, otherwise i'd be up small creek. major things todo: in ipnaf.c (actually ipnaf_linux.c or even better ipnaf_win32.c) it's necessary to write an IP-interface-enumeration function. this function presumably will call GetIpAddrTable and go over all the addresses including netmasks and broadcast addresses returning information that the rpc runtime can then "listen" on - one by one. no, freedce doesn't go listening on 0.0.0.0 it binds to all "towers" whatever they're called. because i've commented this code out (stubbed) i am not expecting freedce-win32 to work straight off. once this is working, putting it in place of rpcrt4 should be relatively straightforward (and mostly very very mind numbingly boring) - a matter of "back-converting" and following the lead of dceport.h - microsoft's "wrapper" header file that allows application developers to port DCE/RPC applications to MSRPC. i say "lead" because it's woefully inadequate, representing about 10% of the functions and structs that actually need "converting", because dceport.h contains the "publicly accessible" functions. once _that's_ done, then there will be two remaining tasks: 1) check that pthreads-win32 works under wine (!) and if so, job done, otherwise it's _yet_ another emulation layer to write, but at least the source code of pthreads-win32 represents a damn good starting point 2) mash freedce's typelib output to be compatible with MSRPC binaries. this latter is no small task (but at least it could be considered). the data structures have been _totally_ mashed, by microsoft. gotta run. later. l. -- -- <a href="http://lkcl.net">http://lkcl.net</a> --

found it! the "dce porting" header file

by Luke Kenneth Casson Leighton

http://examples.oreilly.de/english_examples/dce/dce_nt/dceport.h.aug95 o joy o joy. also, i found _this_!!! http://sourceware.org/pthreads-win32/ which is an implementation of pthreads on win32. _also_ i found - was reminded - by judicious searching on google, that of course entegrity.com have "PC-DCE" which is of course a _commercial_ product that has done exactly the work required: making dce (1.1? 1.2.2?) compile on Win32. including exceptions, dealing with mapping the names, blah blahhh. now. anyone got any brainy ideas on how to reverse dceport.h - in particular the thingy. wotsit. TRY/FINALLY/CATCH stuff? what i'm going to try to do is take a shot at simply compiling dcethreads - on win32. if that _works_ (the tests pass) it'll be great - it will prove two things: 1) that pthreads-win32 works 2) that the dce exception handling will fly, on win32, and _that_ means pretty much zero (urk! let's hope!) work. for now. my main goal: "GetItWorking(tm)". i couldn't care less about binary compatibility for now: i want "services" - i want srvsvcd, i want winregd, i want lsarpcd, i want samrd - all compiled, all working, using TCP/IP. i can then work on rewriting freedce's ntlmsspauth.so to be a DLL (starting off as my favourite - a stub with username and password of "test"). i can then work on writing an "ncalrpc" plugin transport (which is very straightforward: a matter of filling in about 25 functions in a vector table). and also on a ncacn_np plugin transport. "working" means that other people will then be able to focus on issues like binary compatibility. guys (wine team) i have to say this. you were utterly insane to not use freedce as your starting point - and i am still bewildered by you not even looking at its source code (which is topologically identical in almost all areas, to what you've created) or the opengroup's documentation. i say that with the greatest of respect for what you've achieved without freedce. l. -- -- <a href="http://lkcl.net">http://lkcl.net</a> --

compiling botched version of dcethreads exception using pthread-win32 - WORKS!

by Luke Kenneth Casson Leighton

okay, it's not time to get totally excited yet, but i have successfully compiled - and run, and confirmed as working on ros - some of the test programs from dcethreads (http://sf.net/projects/freedce) when cross-compiled with mingw32 and linked with pthreads-win32. this is _very_ significant because it means that there is a good chance of replicating entegrity's work - PC-DCE - with zero modifications to the freedce source code. i've cut out entirely the dcethreads "emulation" stuff, which means that dcethreads posix draft 4 compliance - including the ability to pass on thread cancellation across an RPC client/server app boundary, and including the ability to pass on signals across an RPC client/server app boundary - are completely out the window... ... but i don't care. so. the bits "remaining" in my hacked-together-version of dcethreads is _just_ the exception handling - exc_handling.c and exc_handling.h pretty much. that means that the DCE "TRY", "RAISE", "CATCH" and "EXCEPT" macros are all there. it's early days, but this is good news. now. here's what i don't want to hear from anyone: q) "why in hell's name are you doing this? why can't you just remove all references to posix threads and all references to DCE/RPC exception handling?" a) lkcl@highfield:~/sf/freedce/freedce$ find . | xargs grep pthread | wc 770 3965 64010 lkcl@highfield:~/sf/freedce/freedce$ find . -name "*.[ch]" | xargs grep ENDTRY | wc 105 248 4490 lkcl@highfield:~/sf/freedce/freedce$ find . -name "*.[ch]" | xargs grep RAISE | wc 202 731 12799 lkcl@highfield:~/sf/freedce/freedce$ find . -name "*.[ch]" | xargs grep CATCH | wc 217 685 12392 in short: modifying several thousand lines of code, by hand, is something that microsoft can happily pay some donut code-dunker to do (and did, probably back in 1990-1993) but i sure as hell ain't doing it for a proof-of-concept bit of work. q) "why are you doing this and doing it to _us_? go away!!" a) you are inflicting much pain upon yourselves, even though you probably don't know it. don't like what i'm doing, don't like what i have to say? tough - get over it: i don't have time or money to waste to stroke egos. i'll give you what time i can and what facts i can and also i will present you with an opinion: if you don't like that opinion or the way it's presented, that is your choice. live with it, deal with it or ignore it - i'll pretend i don't care which. i give you information, present you with choices: where you go from there - as neo says as the end of matrix 1.... l. -- -- <a href="http://lkcl.net">http://lkcl.net</a> --

Trunk Freeze

by WaxDragon

It's only been two weeks since I sent out the August State of the Repository, but the tree has already had 271 revisions. There have been several large commits, and trunk has had several build breakages, and instability in general. Just today we had three commits reversing and unreversing some of Alex's changes. I'm calling for a trunk freeze until several issues have been addressed. * The release build is broken. So far the string library and the usb code have been fixed. I was working with Alex on a break in the exception handling when this topic came up. * There seems to be a mysterious hang when shutting down ReactOS in qemu. I've seen it personally and heard reports of it, but since it locks up qemu so bad you can't free the mouse, no one has gotten a trace (that I am aware of). * Gunnar's win32k changes introduced several bugs, many of which were fixed, but I still feel unsure about others that may be hiding. * Hartmut fixed the MP build. See, I didn't even know that was broken. I would like to freeze the tree for 72 hours, over the weekend, allowing bugfixes only. I think we all need to grab a fresh copy and run it under every platform we have, checking all the options. According to the rules set forth, I need three developers. Who agrees to a trunk freeze?

RE: [ros-dev] Problem with compiling 17859

by Ge van Geldorp

> From: Ge van Geldorp > > Complaints to alex It turns out there was a communication problem between Alex and myself. A little background: in r17811 Alex introduced a line in an asm file which failed to compile on older binutils. I talked to him about this on IRC and proposed a workaround. The communication problem was that I thought he rejected the workaround, while Alex thought he ok'ed the workaround and thought I would make the change. Result: workaround not applied and 2 people pissed-off at each other. My apologies to Alex for the remark quoted above, which was inappropriate even if he hadn't agreed to the workaround.

Anyone looking for a nice, uncomplicated bug to fix?

by Ge van Geldorp

Bug 775 (http://www.reactos.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=775) seems to be a simple application bug. I expect no kernel involvement at all. So, if you were always wanting to fix something in ReactOS but were afraid it might be too complicated, this bug is for you. It should give you experience in building and debugging ReactOS so maybe next time you can attack something a little bit more complicated. Gé van Geldorp.

I/O subsystem question

by Ge van Geldorp

I'm working on bug 713 (http://www.reactos.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=713 for the click-happy). What I have found is this: - Telnet opens a socket - Sending and receiving are handled by different threads, let's call them S and R - Thread R starts a recv() operation, which is translated to an ioctl on the socket - No data is available, so thread R blocks, waiting for FileObject->Event - I type something, which is handled by thread S. Thread S starts a send() operation. - Again translated to an ioctl on the socket. Since this is the same socket as used by S, the FileObject will be the same - The send can complete immediately, IoCompleteRequest is called which sets the FileObject->Event. - Thread R is unblocked, the event it was waiting for was set by thread S. However, the irp of thread R was never completed. The recv() call returns with bogus info. - Thread R starts another recv(). When some data arrives from the server, two irps are waiting for it. This eventually leads to the crash. The fundamental problem seems to be multiple overlapping I/O operations which all use FileObject->Event to signal their completion. I have no idea how to fix that... Gé van Geldorp.

Non-working uxtheme.dll

by Mike Swanson

I'm sorry if this would a wrong place to post this, but since I'm trying the ReactOS uxtheme.dll, I figured this would be fine. I've compiled today's SVN, and I noticed that ReactOS had a uxtheme.dll (didn't know that before :P). Well, as a try, I went and put it on a Windows XP Professional machine (no service pack, and the Microsoft uxtheme.dll is un-patched). When I rebooted with the ReactOS DLL, Windows XP freezes at the welcome screen, the start up sound doesn't even play. So I'm wondering if uxtheme.dll isn't complete yet or if it's already known to have problems. -- Mike

freeldr questions

by vit-ros＠att.net

Few questions about freeldr - Is there a compelling reason to have pointer members of LOADER_PARAMETER_BLOCK such as ModsAddr as ULONGs ? (include/ndk/haltypes.h) - Why the kernel module (ntoskrnl.exe) in not treated as such in the loader (there is a special case to create the corresponding module object in the kernel) ? - Why MachGetMemoryMap() is called twice: in freeldr/mm/meminit.c and in freeldr/reactos/reactos.c ? - wouldn't it be nicer to fix these ?

msafd headers

by Mikhail Y. Zvyozdochkin

Hi All! Files on reactos/lib/msafd/misc/ uses header "msafd.h" from reactos/lib/msafd/. On my system, MinGW/linux successfully compiled these files ONLY after I manually corrected include directive: #include <../msafd.h> instead #include <msafd.h> in all 5 *.c files in reactos/lib/msafd/misc/. Maybe we must make this replacement in svn tree? Or it was my misconfiguration? ;) WBR, DarkHobbit

Testing ROS on VMWare With 32MB... Interesting Results

by TwoTailedFox

Been having a poke around, it seems neither LiveCD nor BootCD will boot into GUI (Using latest HEAD SVN), on 32MB. BootCD will complete first stage installer, but won't boot into GUI to load the second stage setup. LiveCD immediately hangs. Now, on VMWare, I use Other/Other as the OS Category, and I've been hearing some (like WaxDragon), using Windows XP Professional as the OS Category. I obtained a BootCD of 17751 rev, and tried it on the WinXP setting, using 32MB. First time I tried it, it hung at copying ole32.dll (34%). Second time, I got a STOP error during the file transfer. Third time, however, it completed the first stage fine. The only difference between the Other and WinXP Pro settings is the inclusion of a USB Controller. I added one to my "Other" setup, and ROS, again, installed fine first time around on 32MB. Now, for the interesting bit. The error is a pretty constant one, and it complains of No Memory Pages Available. It seems just common to the GUI, seeing as ROS won't boot on 32MB even once Setup is completed. This is the case for both SVN Live and BootCD's. Something in the GUI is causing a leak -- "I had a handle on life, but then it broke"

NamedPipes - cause massive reliability problems with services. what to _do_?

by Luke Kenneth Casson Leighton

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/ipc/base/m… please note the comments "it is possible for a client to connect in between the CreateNamedPipe and ConnectPipe". in other words, NamedPipes don't have any equivalent of "listen()". this is a massive _massive_ problem, evidence of which i first encountered with "rpctorture --processes=100 --repeat-operation=100", back in 1998. out of 10,000 operations performed across 100 processes, about TWENTY of those operations would succeed. that's a success rate of 0.2%. (anyone who runs a lab where 400 students sit down at the beginning of a session and all log in to the same NT PDC will tell you _exactly_ what they bloody think of windows and it's the same issue) the reason why there is such an abysmal failure rate was not clear to me until today. it's due - quite simply - to this delay. if the server is particularly overloaded (due to having to deal with, oh i dunno, say, a large influx of incoming Named Pipe client requests) then the time delay between CreateNamedPipe and ConnectPipe is increased; if some idiot decides that the number of pipe connections is to be limited; if someone decides that the number of threads is to be limited, then the server quickly goes into meltdown. if there is protocol proxying or authentication going on (as is the case of SMB IPC$ providing MSRPC named pipes - ncacn_np for those people who know what that is) then you _really_ are in trouble. the question is: having access to the source code - in reactos - what can be _done_ about this? would it be reasonable to write - and use - a named pipes equivalent of "listen()"? alternatively, how in hell's name do you _deal_ with this sort of thing? l. -- -- <a href="http://lkcl.net">http://lkcl.net</a> --

Cant Install Self Compiled ISO

by Brandon Turner

I can't install any bootcd's that I compile, gives INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE. This happens in Qemu, vmware, and virtual pc. I have done full clean builds by doing "make clean" and deleting the object/output folders. I don't know when this started happening really. But if i download the ISO off of CIA then its fine, the exact same version. I am compiling on Windows XP with ROSBe. Here is a link to a picture of the crash: www.brandonturner.org/crash.PNG Please help, its driving me crazy! Brandon

Kernel-mode COM required for Kernel Streaming (ks.sys)

by Andrew "Silver Blade" Greenwood

This is the most ugliest beast I've come across. Trying to implement parts of the Kernel Streaming (ks) stuff. I decided to start with portcls.sys. So far, it appears ks.h (the Kernel Streaming main header) isn't present in our include files (or w32api) and the official MS DDK version is 100KB + so that's a bit of a knock-out already. Anyway I had a poke around and stubbed a lot of the main portcls.sys functions. But I have no idea what I'm doing right now so it's pointless me trying. It appears to be built on COM - the MSDN documents describe "Kernel-mode COM" in the Audio and Video section. Obviously the standard COM calls can't be used in kernel-mode. And I found in kcom.h some declarations for functions such as KoCreateInstance (kernel mode version of CoCreateInstance?) yet I cannot find any references to it on Google. The sample drivers are written in C++, and appear to rely on kcom.h's C++ classes to get things done. There's just not a lot I can do as the foundation isn't even there for me to start implementing Kernel Streaming. And I have *no* idea how to use COM. So far it looks really really ugly. Can someone give me a hand? -Andrew

Poll: Web Browsers

by Rick Langschultz

Hey everyone, I was just wondering how everyone got to reactos.com. I want to know what Browser version people use and the operating system and/or the operating system flavor you use. I know that many people are using Linux, Windows, etc. But some browsers don't support some features like some CSS tags and XMLHttprequest. But I was just wondering... Maybe the web-development team could include in the future loggin this and setting a cookie to not get 750 hits from the same computer so the developers could develop software that would benefits most users ie those that want to use firefox instead of IE and so on...

more HEAD crashing

This time crash occured upon first movement of mouse during 2nd stage setup after "welcome" dialog had appeared ( hadn't touched mouse during bootup - if that makes a difference ) Looks like something related to the win32k refactoring maybe?

Universal Kernel?

by Rick Langschultz

Hey everyone, I have a feature suggestion for version 1.0 or later... I think it would be called the universal kernel. The kernel could be compiled and made to run on various architectures: ia_32, ia_64, PPC, XBOX, PPC64, etc. The computer would translate natively compiled files from other systems into ia_32 or ia_64 code. I know that Windows XP (64 bit) uses WoW which allows 32 bit programs to access 64bit memory or something like that. This way reactos could be installed on a variety of systems with one installation disc instead of a flavor of that disc. Just a suggestion for the future...

Compilation failed due to strcasecmp related problems

lib/netapi32/access.c and friends

these are standard smbclient-related and/or rpcclient-related functions. NetUserGetInfo grabs the information from a NET_USER_INFO_3 structure which is "cached" from the MSV1_0.DLL access token for example (it's a really long story). NetShareEnum() is a LANMAN function, whoopeee what fun. in nt, there are _stacks_ of functions that tie pretty much directly into samba source code. l. -- -- <a href="http://lkcl.net">http://lkcl.net</a> --

lots of people appear to have done quite thorough amounts of digging into MSV1_0.DLL due to it being the key to security attacks and stuff e.g. http://www.security-protocols.com/whitepapers/NT/NTcred.txt the two that i have read so far describe how WINLOGON.EXE is a "user" of the LSASS system by doing a LsaLookupAuthenticationPackage call, in order to obtain, presumably, the vector-table which MSV1_0.DLL registers with the LSASS, and then once that vector-table is obtained, they then go on to describe how MSV1_0.DLL may be attacked, by describing in detail the data structures in it. how very convenient for actually implementing one :) l. -- -- <a href="http://lkcl.net">http://lkcl.net</a> --

samba tng program compile status

by Luke Kenneth Casson Leighton

hi, thought people might want to know: rpcclient.exe already was confirmed as working (by elrond) i just successfully compiled and tested smbclient, that works too. rpcclient.exe produces a _beautiful_ blue screen, i fell about when i saw this. elrond has a patch for smbd which removes fork() and i want to try this out and also make the msrpc services do the same thing, that will be fuuun. the sooner someone gets freedce to compile on mingw32 the damn better is all i can say there. i found some example code that uses NamedPipes i intend to add that in at both the client side and the server side and see what breaks, oo that will be fun i've never done nt named pipes programming before. l. -- -- <a href="http://lkcl.net">http://lkcl.net</a> --
