Hi Jasper,

Namespace modifiers are part of the latest version of Euphoria. You will 
have to download & install it. The documentation  describes what 
namespace modifiers are in detail.

All it means for my DIB's code is this:

If you are using win32lib then you 'include' the library at the top of 
your code but add a namespace modifier label..

include win32lib as w32 -- the label "w32" is user-definable

then, in the code, all references to getDC() & releaseDC() become..

w32:getDC()
w32:releaseDC()

You say that you want to "learn more about DIB's hoping that [you] can 
find out how to print a Pixmap".

Please note that DIBs are not quite the same as Pixmaps (supported in 
win32lib.ew) and I don't have a clue to how they might be printed to 
paper (if that is what you mean).

Perhaps some win32 guru can complete the answer...
