  • Microsoft Win32 Application Programming Interface included with Microsoft Win32s version 1.30c

SUMMARY

Microsoft Win32s version 1.30c contains files that allow localized Win32s kits to be built.

MORE INFORMATION

There are 111 files under the NLS directory in Win32s 1.30c. These include various .nls files, and the following files in nine different languages: 

   COMCTL32.DLL
   COMDLG32.DLL
   FTSRCH.DLL
   OLEDLG.DLL
   RICHED32.DLL
   W32S.386
   W32SYS.DLL
   WINHLP32.EXE
These nine different languages are: 

   Danish     (extension: DAN)
   German     (extension: DEU)
   Spanish    (extension: ESP)
   Finnish    (extension: FIN)
   French     (extension: FRA)
   Italian    (extension: ITA)
   Dutch      (extension: NLD)
   Norwegian  (extension: NOR)
   Swedish    (extension: SVE)
NOTE: The language version of the file is signified by the extension of the file name.

To build a localized Win32s, install English Win32s as usual, and then substitute: 

   COMCTL32.DLL
   COMDLG32.DLL
   FTSRCH.DLL
   OLEDLG.DLL
   RICHED32.DLL
   W32S.386
   W32SYS.DLL
   WINHLP32.EXE
with the corresponding file in the appropriate language. Then copy the NLS files in the NLS directory.

For example, to build a Danish Win32s, install Win32s English version, and then substitute: 

   COMCTL32.DLL
   COMDLG32.DLL
   FTSRCH.DLL
   OLEDLG.DLL
   RICHED32.DLL
   W32S.386
   W32SYS.DLL
   WINHLP32.EXE
with 

   COMCTL32.DAN
   COMDLG32.DAN
   FTSRCH.DAN
   OLEDLG.DAN
   RICHED32.DAN
   W32S.DAN
   W32SYS.DAN
   WINHLP32.DAN
Change the extension into DLL or EXE or 386 as appropriate.
