[The new mailing lists] IMHO, not a good idea. Please read the archives for the countless = reasons why. I shan't waste space by repeating them all. I think it's = good you have the means and desire to practice managing such a beast, = but a different topic might be a better idea! [Gnuphoria] Sayonara, and may your journey to the great software beyond be pleasant = 8-P [Dave] Now that you have so much free time <G>, any hope for improvements to = Win32Lib? [Win32Help] I haven't had a chance to fill in any of the suggestion to MS Help, but = they look good. Anyone have the filespecs for .HLP? [Bitblt] When doing graphics/animation, I've found myself nostalgic for the = PutPixel and DisplayImage routines of Pascal, which allowed relatively = fast access to logical operators on bitmaps. Maybe I'm not looking in = the right places, but are there any FAST routines out there that allow = me to display an image XOR'd with the current screen. I could program = it myself, but only in a slow version -- not good for my needs. [A dilemna] I've tried separating my dialogs into different include files. I want = all similar operators together so I can reuse these pieces. However, = doing this brings me to a C-type dilemna. I have 2 files that call each = other interdependantly. Regardless of which order I include them, I get = a "variable not declared" error. All variables are declared as global = and there are no conflicting names. I can pull out all these errant = variables into a "header" file (yew, I smell 'C'), or I can leave = everything in one huge monster file. Does anyone have a third solution? Michael J.

Nevertheless, there is a shareware .HLP editor which works well. (HelpScribble). You'll also need to download Micro$oft's Help Workshop (free, can you believe it?) Be prepared to wade thru a ton of inscrutable help files on .HLP. What language do they speak on Planet Micro$oft, anyway? It looks like English, but it's not. Irv
