What kind of routines are you looking for?  I've created quite a few
already, like my centerwin.ew lib for centering a window in the desktop
workspace.  I plan on integrating those into Win32Lib (as I suggested in an
earlier post, e.g. getClientRect( Screen ) should return what my getWorkarea
() function returns) and submitting the changes to Derek.  Or are we
looking for an add-on lib?
