It was quick by chance.  You happened to post your question at about the
time I looked at the newsgroup.

It's good to hear when something I suggested helped - I more often hear
about it if it did not help! <g>

In 1992 when Windows 3.1 came out Microsoft added to their compiler what
Borland had been doing for a long while, properly supporting function
prototypes.  Before that Windows header files did not specify argument lists
in function prototypes.

To support programs created for Windows versions from 1992 on up and above
they introduced the macro STRICT to alter the expansion of the Windows
header files so that argument types were shown in function prototypes.

The error you received was that the function prototype's argument list was
() which in C++ means there are no calling arguments.  Your code gave
arguments in the function call and the compiler complained.
