So you won't achive anything if you run the windows application in a wine subsystem. The goal is not to replace the windows dlls with the wine dlls but to translate the GDI calls to X11. This has nothing to do with the POSIX layer. If someone is going into this, than start with the wine x11drv. Unfortunately no one from wine-devel commented that concept. bye ago -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.gotti.org ICQ: 126018723
