Larry,

Thanks for the info, sounds like I need two versions of the program, one
to work with Win98 cards.dll & another to work with WinXP cards.dll.
(or one that can distinguish between op sys)

Here's the (first?) failure point on W98 of code that works on WinXP, would
you have any suggestion as to what to do to alter it for W98?  As far as I 
remember (I'm on XP right now), "cdtInit" is in the W98 cards.dll.


global constant
eCdtInit = registerw32Function( cards32, "cdtInit", {C_POINTER, C_POINTER},
  C_INT ),
