Ben you added the definition yourself. It will be in B20: Tue Sep 15 18:36:08 1998 Ben Elliston * sysdef/kernel32.def: Add definition for the Win32 API function `TryEnterCriticalSection'. This is a non-issue. We can't retroactively add the definitions to previous stub libraries. "We" (i.e., Ben) did add them to Cygnus def files and therefore they will be in B20. -- cgf@cygnus.com http://www.cygnus.com/
