A large Windows application includes a DLL that links to a third-party
DLL. For various reasons the third-party DLL does not work too well
under Wine. However the third-party DLL is also available for the

one of those.

Firstly we will look at the simple example. The main complication of
this case is the slightly different argument lists. The f parameter
does not have to be passed to the Linux function and the d parameter
(theoretically) has to be converted between unsigned long * and
unsigned short *. Doing this ensures that the "high" bits of the
returned value are set correctly. Also unlike with the ODBC example we
will link directly to the Linux Shared Library.

Here are a few more advanced options.
Suppose you want to convert incoming DOS format filenames to their
Unix equivalent. Of course there is no suitable function in the true
Microsoft Windows API, but wine provides a function for just this
task and exports it from its copy of the kernel32 DLL. The function
is <function>wine_get_unix_file_name</function> (defined in winbase.h).
