That's idiotic. I wrote the software but now they want

I specifically requested my contact to cooperate

You keep using that word, "cooperate".
It's absent from the linux lexicon.
It's all about freedom and choice...and NOT YOUR CHOICE, THEIR CHOICE!

and
provide me info so that I could adapt my software to
WINE. In other words, it should have been me fixing the
bugs, not them. If I want to use common functions like
CreateFile, DeleteFile, RtlMoveMemory, etc then I should
be able to look up what WINE can handle. My contact said
they didn't want to work that way. He just wanted to me
to sign on as a boyscout beta tester in his paramilitary,
hierarchical command structure and have me shepherding
bugs.

So that's what I'm talking about when I say WINE is
faulty by design, doomed to fail, and needs an API.
No sooner do they reverse engineer 1,000 operations in
one program than a new version comes out and they
have to start all over again.
