The wonders of Windows32 would take a lot of work to document correclty (eg., if I were to document it, I'd surely not remember to include the _declspec since that's not even in MS docs, and people still keep on using it). However, one of the purposes of the mailing list archives is to provide *some* rudimentary form of docs until someone contributes some FAQs or something of the sort. Regards, Mumit - For help on using this list (especially unsubscribing), send a message to "gnu-win32-request@cygnus.com" with one line of text: "help".
