Thankyou for your reply,

I tried your suggestion of replacing the headers with those from lcc-win32,
however it appears they are not compatable, as the compiler just displays
a whole host of new errors with the lcc-win32 headers

I was unaware that the command line compiler was such an old version,
so I tried #defining an old windows version number before including the
headers, and it fixed the problem with the TVINSERTSTRUCT,
It appears the compiler does not like the union that the structure
has embedded in it.

Thus I have found a solution, but the only problem with this is it means
I will be unable to use and of the new features of the API, thus I will have to look for
a different compiler for my project.

Thanx for the help

Cheers
