As I mentioned, Win32Lib is being overhauled, so it might be a while before
I start adding new functions.

BUT...

It's *not* that hard to add your own calls to the GDI! Wrappers for Win32
functions are pretty easy to write. You can use the Win32Lib routines
getDC/releaseDC and getHandle to get the DC and handle (hWnd) of windows. If
you know what you are missing, they should not be that difficult to add. You
can probably build your own include file to add the functions.

Do you have the most current version? This is a name conflict with Euphoria
2.1, which has reverse() as a native function. The current version is
supposed to have renamed reverse() to Reverse() to avoid the name conflict.
I'll check it out.

Thanks!
