1. Win32Lib v0.44e
I've posted the bleeding edge version of Win32Lib at:
http://www.lanset.com/dcuny/win32.htm
Features include:
- IDE has initial support for multiple windows
- Mouse pointer shape can be changed
- New mouse pointers can be created
- Plays WAV files
- getItem no longer returns NULL at end of string
- IDE no longer adds extra lines in code
- Wrapped Win32 shellExecute command
It seems pretty stable - the IDE fix is the only part I haven't had time to
test out. If there are no reported problems, I'll send it on to Robert in a
day or so, perhaps with the addition of some more toolbar icons. For those
curious, I've filched a lot of icons from Tigert, who designed a lot of the
cool Gnome icons:

Thanks, Dave. This seems to work fine. Two questions:
1. setMousePointer takes two params, but the first one can
apparently be any window at random, it works regardless.
2. Do you know a way to change the printer font _within_ a
page? (so as to print portions in boldface, etc)

Irv :
I think you would have to imbed printer driver codes in your text
stream to turn bold on and off.

So it would seem. This is running in Windows, using the Win printer driver.
There should be a way to change fonts, sizes, and weight "on the fly".
Hope someone knows how, or where to look for the answers.

The first parameter is *supposed* to specify what control/window the pointer
is to be associated with. I'll look into this.

You /should/ be able to use setFont(), i.e. (untested code snippet follows)
integer line
sequence size
-- write the first line
line = 0
setFont( Printer, "Arial", 10, Normal )
wPosition( 10, line )
wPuts( Printer, "This is Arial, 10 points )
-- move down one line
size = getFontSize( Printer )
line += size[2]
-- write the second line
setFont( Printer, "Arial", 10, Bold )
wPosition( 10, line )
wPuts( Printer, "This is Arial, 10 points bold" )
-- move down one line
size = getFontSize( Printer )
line += size[2]
setFont( Printer, "Arial", 10, Italic )
wPosition( 10, line )
wPuts( Printer, "This is Arial, 10 points italic" )
Hope this works!

Sorry, you're right. I was fooled by the code in your demo Generic.exw .
After looking at that for a while, I saw what was happening, and that I would
have to use startDoc/startPage ~ endPage/endDoc pairs with my own
page description in between. That method works fine - the reports look
great!
It also would seem to be fairly easy to write a routine that would accept
escaped text and set the font, size, position, etc. automatically - while
keeping track of the line spacing as well. Maybe I'll have time to write a
report module. Maybe I'll win the lottery.....
