The aim of the library is to allow DJGPP programs to make better use of the Windows environment. Thus, it includes clipboard access, user information, version information, low-level device driver (VxD), DOS box and virtual machine titling and registry functionality. Most of these functions will only work under Windows '95, but some less complicated functions will work with Windows 3.x. Their status under Windows '98 and Windows NT is unknown. It seems likely that they will work under Windows '98, and unlikely under Windows NT (because of NT's poor MS-DOS support). This version is mainly a bugfix release. libwin should now build with binutils versions greater than 2.8.1. It can now also be cross-compiled. A new demo was also contributed, which copies the entire screen to the clipboard. libwin can be obtained from here: http://www.phekda.freeserve.co.uk/richdawe/mysoft.html#libwin >From the web page you can browse libwin's documentation. libwin can be downloaded directly: http://www.phekda.freeserve.co.uk/richdawe/dl/lwin014b.zip (binaries) http://www.phekda.freeserve.co.uk/richdawe/dl/lwin014s.zip (sources) If you just want to build programs with libwin, download the binary distribution. If you want to rebuild libwin from scratch or look at the sources, then download the source distribution. Please note that this library is not being actively developed, so the only future developments will be bugfixes. If someone wants to develop it actively, please feel free to contact me.
