Oh I see. If you haven't coded Windows apps before then take it slowly as its a
steep learning curve. You need to think "event-driven" rather than
"process-driven" coding style.

You can unzip win32lib files into any directory. The unzip creates three
sub-directories, Include, Docs, and Demo. You will need to add the 'Include' path
to the EUINC environment variable. For example, if you unzip into C:\Win32lib,
you will get ...

C:\Win32Lib\Include
C:\Win32Lib\Docs
C:\Win32Lib\Demo

You will need to change EUINC ...

If you had (for example) ...

  EUINC=C:\EU_Utils

then change it to ...

  EUINC=C:\Win32lib\Include;C:\EU_Utils
