CNS.DLL

[steve@softlife.com]

I have been working with trying to implement Switch on Linux under WINE. It all works fine except for conversion from DSS format files. The WINE debug output shows it can not load WMVCORE2.DLL and CNS.DLL. This only happens when attempting DSS conversion. I loaded WMVCORE2.DLL and this error went away. I have no idea what CNS.DLL is and the only reference to it I can find is a Spyware implementation that is part of CNSMin. I'm confident this is not what dss32.DLL wants from WINE.

 

When I look at dss32.dll, I find references to both WMVCORE2.DLL and CNS.DLL. However, when I installed Switch under Windows, neither of these DLLs were installed and DSS conversion works fine. I can only assume these are non-fatal errors and dss32.DLL uses them only if they are available.

 

My assumption is that WINE may be indicating a failure to load dss32.DLL, preventing DSS conversion, when it fails to load CNS.DLL and Windows does not. If so, I can find out by having a copy of the CNS.DLL that dss32.DLL is looking for.

 

If someone at NCH could please respond and let me know if a copy of this DLL can be made available, I would greatly appreciate it.

we cant offer any wine support other than whats already on our website, sorry. the reality is that most of the problems are caused by the wine emulation layer and we cannot do anything if the problem is wine.
