I have tried (on previous occasions) the IMPORTS thing, and it enables the program to link ok.

However, I have NEVER got DebugOutput to actually output anything. I am using the DBWin
program provided in the SDK to display messages. OutputDebugString, and TRACE both work,
DebugPut doesn't - ever!

Does anyone know what I am doing wrong?
