Does anyone have documentation (function parameters, etc.) or know
where documentation might be obtained (other that MSDN subscription)
on the DSKAPI32.DLL and DSKMAINT.DLL that install with Windows 95?
(Actually, I think the two are installed and/or updated with the Win95
Plus pack.)  There is also a 3rd and related API that I am also
interested in (DSKAPI16.DLL).

Part of what I am wanting to do is retrieve a given file's compressed
size.  There is a KERNEL32.DLL function called GetCompressedFileSizeA
(and W), but these appear to be  NT only functions and do not work for
Windows 95 (at least that has been my own personal experience).

Any info regarding this subject matter would be greatly appreciated.
I have thumbed through virtually all of the published books on Win95
and Win32 API calls (it seems like it anyway) and I have yet to find
an author who has even acknowledged the existence of these libraries
or who has discussed how to obtain Win95 compressed file information.

Thanks,
Bob
