Did not know that.

No you did not, end of the Stick, no. Don't forget I said "maybe wrong".
I work for Ros, not Wine so I don't know.

Yes, Caution is needed! I'm not just testing one thing at a time. I test
multiple applications at the same time. Including wine tests. Most of the
time they cause bug checks, and kill the system. So "Caution" is the word.

You did answer one question, there are no structures compatible to work
from.

Yeah, is there a standard structure we can use together? This was one of
my grips about using Wine Dll's. What if these structures propagated beyond
kernel32 and are used in comdlg or comctrl? This could fu everything!
