I don't know if the gdi lock problem is fixed; it does not matter
much since there is also something else broken : the driver
loading.
I have ttydrv working with my (now antique) reference : wine 20000801.
If I test it, driver loading occurs through the driver loading (code
in windows/driver.c). With current Wine, this code seems to be not
used and the driver is loaded by graphics/driver.c, by
DRIVER_FindDriver.
With LoadLibraryA.
Try to load a 16 bit library like a Win95 printer driver with that.
I suspect it is yet another victim of the Dll separation :
the new DLL hell :-)
