If I recall correctly, you don't get the compiled run-time code for all
possible memory model/calling convention/target environments.  You get
a fairly representative set, but the rest you have to build should you
need them.  If you have the TechKit (and the source kit(s) I think), the 
process of building a new .LIB is quite painless.  Simply select MKLIB 
as your project file, then set the calling convention/memory model/target 
platform either by editing the project or via the menus.  Now, make the 
project.  It should start compiling and assembling some of the base 
source code.  The result is a new .LIB, with the requested
conventions.  The demo should then link properly.  You'll notice that
very few Stack libraries are provided.

It may have to do with the way MSW handles the co-pro.  I'm not sure
if it goes to the trouble of either emulating it or not.  I recall
Borland has some problems with their products and MSW.  I haven't
tried this out myself.  Which version of TopSpeed do you use, 3.02?

Again, I believe you'll have to build this particular library using
the technique I described above.

Hope this helps,
Andries
