- CLUB.HLP, CODEX.HLP, CUP.HLP, MARRIAGE.HLP and RULES.HLP,
When trying to open any of these files with the winhlp32.exe utility an error occurs. This error can be easily reproduced from the Linux command line. For example, for the MARRIAGE.HLP file the corresponding command would be something like that
- wine ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/winhlp32.exe MARRIAGE.HLP
- wine: Unhandled page fault on read access to 00000000 at address 00408DDD (thread 0024), starting debugger...
Of all the 5 help files listed above 4 files:
- CLUB.HLP, CUP.HLP, MARRIAGE.HLP and RULES.HLP
And there was only a single file
- CODEX.HLP
Thus, 4 files when tried to be opened with winhlp32.exe cause a memory fault and 1 file causes an encoding error.
All the results, I have described here, can be reproduced with the following commands.
- I. For the files, which lead to the page memory fault in the winhlp32.exe program:
- 1) wine ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/winhlp32.exe CLUB.HLP
- 2) wine ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/winhlp32.exe CUP.HLP
- 3) wine ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/winhlp32.exe MARRIAGE.HLP
- 4) wine ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/winhlp32.exe RULES.HLP
- II. For the file, which was opened by winhlp32.exe, but depicted with a wrong symbol set:
- wine ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/winhlp32.exe CODEX.HLP
I should emphasize that in the Windows operating system all the 5 files are opened and displayed flawlessly, and they lead to neither system failures, nor to encoding mistakes.
In conclusion I'll specify the operating system, which I tested the winhlp32.exe program with these help files on. It is Debian GNU/Linux 12 (bookworm), version 12.2.0-14. Wine was installed from the official WineHQ server https://dl.winehq.org/, it is a stable branch, its version is wine-9.0.
