Sorry, I should have been more specific. What I meant by "Win32" was any application written using the Win32 API - essentially a Windows 95 "Logo Compliant" application. A Win32 app or 32-bit app is basically synonomous(sp?) with a Win95/NT application. I believe there are slight technicalities involved because of WinNT's security API and some features of WinNT not in Win95 (and vice-versa), but they are pretty much the same. I tend to use all three interchangeably, as this is what seems to be the case in Windows programming circles. > > Dan > -- > Dan Pop > CERN, CN Division > Email: danpop@mail.cern.ch > Mail: CERN - PPE, Bat. 31 R-004, CH-1211 Geneve 23, Switzerland > > Regards, Walter Hsueh hsuehw@ecf.utoronto.ca
