Hi ReactOS devs!, currently i'm trying to get PICE compiling and working again (and learning something about the ReactOS internals in the process). Currently i have a question related to what i'm doing. To fix some warnings in the compilation of the PICE loader i have to fix the first parameter to CreateFile, because CreateFile expects the first parameter to be a LPCWSTR and its a char* instead. Its ok to typecast the char* to LPCWSTR? as in file = CreateFile((LPCWSTR) SrcFileNames[i],GENERIC_READ , 0, NULL, OPEN_EXISTING, 0, 0); ? and also i have another question. Currently in the source (main.c) we assume in line 368 that sizeof(DWORD) == sizeof(INT) and the compiler issues a warning. Its ok to typecast this too? find_stab_sections(p,IMAGE_FIRST_SECTION(pNTHeaders),pNTHeaders->FileHeader.NumberOfSections,&pStab,(PINT) &nStabLen,&pStr,&nStabStrLen); Well, thats all i have to say. Hmm, i forgot, thanks for all your hard work done in ReactOS!. I'm watching the project and the mailing list from 2000 onwards but i only speak if i need to say anything :). I always try to get people interested in this project, explaining to people what is and what its not. Also, i'm a native spanish speaker. I would be happy to help in anyway i could. thanks again for your great work, Best regards, Logan_V8 -- _______________________________________________ Check out the latest SMS services @ http://www.linuxmail.org This allows you to send and receive SMS through your mailbox.

Re: [ros-dev] ReactOS presentations

I've looked at Stevens in the past, but didn't think there was much in there we can use anymore. Also, whilst the theme was pretty, I think it could be made a little more professional. > Though we need something fresh and reworked too, because the Steven's one is already outdated in some parts > (ReactOS progressed quite a while since presentation were used last time). I agree, plus Stevens was aimed at a Wine audience, which also needs to be changed to a general audience. How about I put together a new base presentation and submit it to SVN once approved? An anyone interested in contributing to the presentation can then work through SVN. Ged.

ReactOS presentations

by Murphy, Ged (Bolton)

I have a few large presentations to give on ReactOS in September, and as a group we don't have any previous presentations stored. Although not a weekly event, a few of us do give presentations from time to time, which means we are probably going through the same process of compiling a presentation from scratch. So I was wondering if anyone was interested in putting our heads together and compiling a default presentation which we can use. This first default presentation should cover topics such as what ROS is and what it's goals are, and then move onto a description of the system, finalising with a short demonstration. As ROS grows, requests for us to give these sort of things will obviously grow too, including more detailed discussions on ROS internals. Therefore, as more specialised presentations are given, we could store these too, eventually offering a nice collection of presentations which we can pull out when a need arises. So, any volunteers?

You should use error checking where nessesary. Ged.

WaxDragon wrote: > Maybe the first order of business would be picking a file format! Whenever I give presentations, whether it be at work, uni or a company I've never had anything other than MS PowerPoint available. I would say this is a must for a base format, and people can convert from this is need be. Ged.

Probelms with ZwOpenKey or RtlFormatCurrentUserKeyPath?

by Timo Kreuzer

Hi, I tried to read the Values of the SysColors from registry in win32k. But I get an error opening the CurrentUserKey. This is the code: RtlFormatCurrentUserKeyPath(&CurrentUserKeyPath); InitializeObjectAttributes(&ObjectAttributes,&CurrentUserKeyPath,OBJ_CASE_INSENSITIVE,NULL,NULL); Status = ZwOpenKey(&CurrentUserKeyHandle, KEY_READ, &ObjectAttributes); And I always get Status == STATUS_OBJECT_NAME_NOT_FOUND This is in trunk. Is there something wrong with my code or is there something wrong with Registry functions? Greetings, Timo

As a collective group, we are certainly interested in promoting ROS in every country. > I saw one magazine from France with ReactOS so why you don't > want to cooperate with us? I assume that was written by a 3rd party author, not a ROS dev. I didn't say I don't want to cooperate, but I personally don't want to write a 10 page article for a magazine which I can't read. > I think that such proyects as ReactOS are for developers from > all countries. I agree, which is why I personally wouldn't want to write an article limited to those languages. However, this doesn't mean someone else won't, you've already had an offer from weird_w, who is a native English speaker. Have you ever considered an English release? It would open your magazine up to a much greater audience. As for the current status, you would probably have more success targeting ROS devs who's native language is one of the magazines published languages. If you popped into IRC, I could point out some of the culprits for you ;) > Will you please cooperate with us? Of course, my cooperation was never an issue, hence my replies to your past emails :) Ged.
