Question about which tools to use, bugs, the best way to implement a function, etc should go here. Don't forget to see if your question is answered in the wiki first! When in doubt post here.
Do you want the source code for the Win32 API??? it is now available!!!:lol:
Were??? How it can be?
The Answer is: The Wine Project, the Wine Project wrote Dll's to replace all the Windows API dll's like NTDLL, Kernel32, GDI32 etc. so you can run windows programs on any other Operating System, So I was thinking on Idea to write your own kernel, but for the User Interface, and the API to use the Win32 API. And I would gain 3 things (1) Every Win32 program would run on your OS, (2) You would now the Win32 API internals better (3) this is a very good thing for someone how is more Familiar of the Win32 API from the Linux API.
What do you think about this idea? I would be happy to here.
For some readers Wine is a new thing, like for me that I only use MS Windows. So I'm sure it would have some others that didn't hear about it. Also some discussion on the GUI subsystem is a good idea, because any OS developer would want his OS to have a GUI some day.
That's something everyone desires, but those source codes are always the hardest to follow and read because one doesn't know why everything is programmed the way it is and there's where one gets lost.
