Basically I could do it with Visual Studio 6 but failed with vc2003. My main problem after this though was that while I got it to compile under VS6= , I then couldn't use RUDL (separate package) because it complained about "require__" when I tried to start my app. It does kind of back up one of my issues which I've raised before, that Windows (which so many people use) doesn't have an "official" release for Windows, and we are dependant on Curt's (very fine) work to provide the one-click-installer. Which quite understandably he does in his spare time. A proper, official, supported "how-to" with the correct build-environment configs, versions of tools (MAKE, LIB etc.) and so on would be great. That way we could at least all be "singing from the same sheet". Glenn (wearing a flameproof suit!)
