Drew,
    maybe till today I've been really lucky because of I've been always able to
compile EVERY source code.
Keep in mind that:
    1)    Borland C++ AND C++ Builder they both support also MFC (some release
include the source).
    2)    Now C++ Builder 3.0 support microsoft LIBs
    3)    Borland C++ can generate a LIB from a DLL (e.g. DDRAW.DLL), so you can
use wathever you want. It's very easy!!


So, if you use a Microsoft compiler maybe you NEED a Microsoft example. I don't
know if this is true, but this is absolutely **NOT** true with Borland.
Next time, dear Drew, don't talk about compiler that you don't know. ;-)


Bye, Potsie
