Hi Remy:

When to use Ex functions? Do we have to first find the operating system and 
then decide which one to be used?
For example GetVersionEx() & GetVersion()
or GlobalMemoryStatusEx() and GlobalMemoryStatus()

I get undefined symbol error at the following.
OSVERSIONINFOEX osvi;
MEMORYSTATUSEX statex;

However I am able to use
OSVERSIONINFO osvi;
MEMORYSTATUS statex;
and GetVersion() and GlobalMemoryStatus()
Coluld you please elaborate?

Thanks,
Sudesh
