Announce file:
libwin 0.1 Announcement
=======================

Description
===========

    libwin is a library of functions for DJGPP. 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 DOS
boxes).

    All that is required to use the functions is to include one file and link
a library. The functions are documented in man page format, and HTML format
(converted from the man pages).

    This version, being the first, isn't particularly complete. I wanted to
get the structure right, so that adding functionality later wouldn't be so
much effort. If you'd like to suggest features, please mail me and I'll do
what I can.

    Thanks,
