Modularity Irv.

Ive found that there are certain things like Window Creation
which most Common Controls derive from can be built
in seperate include's and when needed simply pluged into
code.

Tommorow, I will have A complete Drive/Directory Listing
TreeView that I will send to Robert for you to look at.

Once the hard work is thru Irv it is SO much simpler I think
that Win32lib to write a program and to prove this, I'll start
right now on the Demo and by Tommorow it'll be complete.

Much faster than Win32lib, Much Smaller, More reliable,
less sofisticated and just as easy to assemble.

Jacques Deschenes was on the right track when he wrote the API
wrappers and my demo will house a few of his plug-in routines
but for the most part, (98%) of the code was written by me.

I'll give the time it took to create the demo and lets see if someone 
can match or beat my time creating an identicle program.
