- Fixing a ultoa bug, replacing both version with wine, copy the code from wine 0.9.0; I did add a NULL check for the string so it can not bsod. wine ntdll string only report one error, left to fix, I run wine test on windows 2000 and reactos to compare the result. Fireball report wine_ntdll_test string crach on windows xp, but it does not crash in windows 2000. (greatlord)

Floating point to string conversion routines Copyright (C) 2002 Michael Ringgaard. All rights reserved. Make wine test for fcvt shut up we are failing 64 of wine test in msvrt printf, but we pass all fcvt test. before we did fail 75 test in wine test of msvrt printf test. Before we did fail almost all test case for fcvt in wine test (commited by ({{greatlord]])
- replacing _swab with wine cvs 2006-05-11 version, this will take care of our problem with overlapped memory problem with swab, and this make also two more wine test pass in wine msvcrt test. 100% pass okay now with wine msvcrt string test. (greatlord)
- making one more wine msvcrt printf test pass now it is 62 fails instead of 63 fails (greatlord)
- starteted implement float into sprintf, snprintf and alot other printf api. this is more like a start how to implement it. This commit is more market for me. so I do not forget where string functions of *printf api (the main api functions) are. One more thing if u change on sprintf.c same change must be done in swprintf.c or changes into swprintf.c same changes must be done in swprintf.c, other wise the efect of bugfix or change will not be excutected in reactos, for u do not know if program pic the ansi or unicode version. (greatlord)
- swprintf/sprintf almost last commit for full support of %e %E %f %g %G, left todo is write the numberf function (greatlord)
- small rewrite by me, pass wine test and no bugs in ungetc accroing wine test of msvcrt. (greatlord)
- fix so fread return right value of bytes/chars it reads make one more wine test pass in msvcrt file(greatlord)
- remove stub for _wenviron we already have it implement in crt.a (greatlord)
- redirect __p__mbctype to _mbctype, I copy the idea from wine, for they are doing same (greatlord)
- redirect __p__tzname to _tzname, I copy the idea from wine, for they are doing same (greatlord)

- fixing one more of wine msvcrt printf test (greatlord)
- fixing 2 more fualt in msvcrt *printf api (greatlord)
- implement datatype I32 for *printf string version we have a *printf for files as well now 29 fails in wine test msvcrt printf (greatlord)
- fixing two more bugs in *printf strings version. this make we pass one more of wine test (greatlord)

FreeLdr
- Improved Compatibility with Intel Macs (Michael Steil)
- commit the patch from bug 1874 even it does not use the RDMSR and WRMSR measure methood, we need use the RDMSR and WRMSR for dual core and CPU support it see Intel documentations AP-485, who u should do it. The patch is from HTO Bugfix detections of RTSC support for single and dual core by me, adding check if the CPU support RDMSR and WRMSR and send a true or false value to GetCpuSpeed, so we known which method we should use. HTO patch should be use when it is false. other wise we should use the RDMSR and WRMSR measure method See issue #1874 for more details. (greatlord)
