Thanks, I kind of guessed that..

But how can I solve the problem, without making two versions
of my program.

Thanks in advance

You will have to use LoadLibrary() and GetProcAddress() to dynamically load 
the functions at run-time, instead of statically linking to them at 
compile-time.

You got the right answer from Remy. I will just add that in Win 9x LAN 
manager API functions, of which NetUserGetInfo is part, is availiable 
only in a 16-bit dll called netapi.dll.
To call this api on win9x you will have to use technique called flat 
thunking.

You can find more info about that here:
