Download Windows Source Code

Post by Jim »

:lol: :lol: :lol:
Do you want the source code for the Win32 API??? it is now available!!!:lol: :lol:

Were??? How it can be? :roll:

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. :wink:

for any more reference see http://www.winehq.com

You can also download the Windows source code from here:

http://127.0.0.1

I've downloaded quite a few things on there, although I'm not sure why that server has some of my old emails :-(

I agree.. Everyone knows about Wine and ReactOS..

This topic is rather pointless keller... :roll:

The title was also poorly chosen..

1) Stop using so many dang emotions already..
2) Stop going over board on the question marks..

Hi

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.

Hi

Wine source is very clear to follow, you only have to be familiar with the Win32 API.
