1. shfolder.dll

I just reinstalled Windows 98 first edition, and tried to run my EU program.
But I got an error, after tracing it is because I don't have
"shfolder.dll". I need it for function "SHGetFolderPathA" to get paths
of special folders.
Do you have shfolder.dll in your system directory? I already have it
in other dir but just want to survey.
How to make a substitute for "SHGetFolderPathA" function?
Thanks!

I have it \WINDOWS\System. Win98 SE. In shlobj.h, SHGetFolderPathA
is defined under
#if (_WIN32_IE >= 0x0500)
this means it's only present when you have MSIE 5.0 or later.

Hm.. I don't know. Looking for "C:\Program files" in the registry
wouldn't be a good idea, because there are many entrys related to it.
So I tried the following (using Win 98, 1st edition):
- making directory "c:\pipapo"
- regedit > looking for "pipapo" -- not found, as expected
- tweakui > My Computer > Special Folders:
setting %Program Files% to "c:\pipapo" (+ holding my breath 
- regedit > looking for pipapo -- found once,
branch: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion
entry : ProgramFilesDir = "C:\pipapo"
Unfortunately I'm not sure, if this finding can be generalized, but why
not?
Best regards,

PS: Euphoria and this list are new to me. I wish to thank RDS very much
for having created this both simple and powerful language, which is
very elegant and flexible. At the moment, I'm beginning to gather
some experience with it, and it seems to me, that Euphoria is the
programming language, I always have been looking for.
I am also very impressed by the "Euphoria community" and the
archive, which e.g. make it much easier to write windows programs,
let me use a parser generator (or try to understand how it works
, let me deal with fuzzy sets, and.. and.. Thanks a lot!
