1. RE: Win32lib.ew v0.57.1

I think that why 4 copies were sent, is that Outlook Express got confused
about me editing the saved draft message why trying to send it. It kept
saying that it couldn't delete the Outbox message. So I pressed send again
and again. It was 4:30am and I was pretty zonked.

Last time i tried the website, i couldn't use it. Too much in scripting. I
could
not even re-sign up for the list when it was moved off the old edu
listserver.
Nor could i be a moderator anymore.

My isp has held/echoed email before, even after i deleted it twice off the
server. The owner can't get it stable and keep his mits off of it. He is now
on
his 3rd OS on the isp too. I really believed it was the isp this time, not
Derek
or Topica, especially since the size was about the same all 4 times.

The main purpose of the smaller version is to make it easier for people to
include the library in their own release packages. It is only secondary that
it might be faster for some people.

Attached is an updated version.

3.projectiles.exw: I pressed Fire!! and nothing happened.

Sorry, this was not meant to be in the package.

You're right about the resolution aspect. In general the samples are
designed with 800x600 using small fonts. To have the samples detect what
resolution you are using and adjusting their dimensions accordingly would
add too much complexity for 'sample' code. I leave this as an exercise for
the reader. blink

Thank you. I'll get rid of one.

This is also another experiment that should not have been in the package.

Works fine on my systems. It doesn't do much and I really should get rid of
it.

I will get rid of 2 of them.

It works fine on my systems. Tested on Win98, WinMe, Win2000.

I'm sure Derek is swamped with bug reports and might not be in the best

will see that it's there 4 times too.  So that would rule out your
ISP...

The new version is pretty cool :)

The new useLogicalResolution function is exactly what I needed, I've
now gone back over my code removing all the work around stuff I did and
replacing it all with 1 line in the main file, brilliant :)
