OWL :comes with BC++ *with* Application Frameworks or with the Windows-only :Turbo C++ for Windows. I highly recommend using OWL or some other :class library when programming for Windows (the C API is a nightmare). :I believe BC++ w/ AF is about $200 at an educ. discount and TC++4W is :<=$100. Ask customer-support@borland.com (no tech support!) for more :info. Btw, Protogen can probably output code which doesn't use OWL -- :read the docs. Even if you didn't get the "with App Frameworks" edition, you should have the OWL include files & libraries. Did you install them? (The Borland install program gives you options to leave out just about everything...) :>Question 2 is what header file should I give protogen... :>ie how do I hook MY code into the individual menus I have set up. :>It would appear from the little pamphlet that I do all of the protogen :>work first and THEN create my code and hook it into it. :>but without being able to get by the owl problem I can't begin to tackle :>the second problem Protogen works w/ OWL. One of the setup options in Pgen is whether you are doing straight C, C++ or C, C++ w/ OWL. You are correct you can't solve this second problem until you solve the first. Note: I don't use Protogen, I use Object/Designer. -Richard Hartman hartman@ulogic.COM =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= "Nobody has ever had a sexual fantasy about being tied to a bed and ravished by somebody dressed as a liberal." -P.J.
