The JPI compiler does indeed generate the prolog/epilog code neccesary
to interface to the Ms Windows toolkit. Some time ago I had the same
idea as you, and spent some days to get `hello world` (in different
releases with bug-fixes :-) up and running using JPI. I concluded that
although you can make it work fairly easy, is it not recommended for
serious work. Read: If you are planning to do something really usefull
you would be better of sticking to C (eventually).

My oppinion was confirmed by Nigel H. (programmer par excelance at JPI)
in a comment he made at BIX a few weeks ago. He also stated that they
(JPI) had no intention of changing this situasion in the near future.
