Re: Troubles with new version of win32lib ?????

Hi Gene,
that line (735 in v0.53) refers to a constant defined in msgbox.e (line 21
(stamp=80075173)). This file is included in win32lib.ew at line 533.

Therefore, all I can guess, assuming you haven't also got a message about
msgbox.e being missing, is that the version of msgbox.e you are using, does
not have this constant defined.

I haven't got the Linux version of msgbox.e, so maybe that version doesn't
have this constant. Otherwise I'm not sure what is going on. I use
win32lib.ew daily and have not got this problem.

For your information, I copied these lines from msgbox.e...
