I'm not sure you can do the ELF magic with a static library, but even if you could there's a lot more to the initial setup than the preloader; that's why winelib apps are shared libraries, so that we can do all the work that needs to be done before they get loaded. -- Alexandre Julliard [EMAIL PROTECTED]
