language.dll

[TurboBlaise]

First of all, thanks for your excellent work!
I have a question though: how can I define the language.dll (sort order) used by the system?
In win 3 it was set in the [boot] section of the system.ini and in NTVDM it could be set by the following registry key:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\WOW\boot]
"language.dll"="langger.dll"

I need this to get access to Paradox-Tables from within Borland's ObjectVision which otherwise seems to run just fine and for me still is (30 years after EOD) one of the easiest and quickest RAD tools.

What locale is your machine set to? I'd expect that sort order would follow the system locale for your computer. As far as I can tell the lang???.dll files which were part of win31 were never included in windows nt. Is the program looking in system.ini for that entry? Can you provide a trace?

I have to privide the DLL in the system directory.

My testing doesn't show it even tries to load the dll, it just reads the value from system.ini and uses that to set the sort order in the database. Try https://ci.appveyor.com/project/otya128/winevdm/builds/45156875/job/lpqdtojcwqbhr9bs/artifacts .

Works great, even without the DLL!
A Million thanks!
