I've posted the Win32Lib 0.45m 'Bleeding Edge' update at:

   http://www.lanset.com/dcuny/win32.htm#BleedingEdge

Features include:

   - FIX.EX pre-binding program updated to Euphoria 2.2 keywords
   - TrackBar increments correctly
   - Fixes for child controls of TabControl
   - New getFontDialog (thanks to Judith Evans)

Beta testers, have at it! I'm hoping it's finally stable.

Known issues:

1. system_exec() still doesn't behave properly. It's got to be something
I've done, because it works in older releases. I'll try to track this down
this weekend.

2. One user reports problems consistantly occur while running Explorer -
system fonts being corrupted, etc. I've never personally encountered this
problem, nor heard any other similar reports, so I can't duplicate or verify
this.

3. NT seems to be treating fonts differently. I haven't had a chance to
verify this.

Finally, I'd like to know how well the library runs under Wine. Wine used to
report a mismatched open/closeDC error when running Win32Lib applications,
and that *should* be fixed. Since I toasted Linux a couple weeks ago (flakey
hardware), the Wine site seems to be perpetually off-line, so I haven't been
able to reload it.

Thanks!
