Searching the web for info on making a relatively minor mod to win32lib, I found far more rackloads of vb/delphi/foxpro (just remembered another one) etc *GUNK* than you obviously think. It really is not nice, but Euphoria is not alone. I suppose if you code in C you just #include the massive .h header files and be done with it, without thinking, so that doesn't count. I suppose the cool thing would be for some kind soul to collect, disseminate, analyse, wrap, and document all the C .h files and functions in common use, ideally with a nice Euphoria front end. Dang, isn't there something called win32lib which does that? Pete PS: this one, you really should see, I found particularly useful (Yes, honestly, joking aside, I really did actually find it very useful). It is for VB, and it begins with the wonderful comment: "This seems too straight forward..." http://p2p.wrox.com/archive/pro_vb/2002-05/9.asp PPS: Do you really code all this out your head? Or do you have some massive include files, at least for the constants? Or do you just not use constants and instead look them up and hard-code their values?
