Oh yes, that's what we all want, ...more typing,typing,typing !

Bad enough that win32lib already has w32 in front of everything just because
one, ( yes 1... if I recall ! ), person
didn't want to change his little 'wrapper'.

Since old code wouldn't 'include' your new API-library anyways, where would the
conflict be?
Haven't seen watcomWM_PAINT, or borlandWM_PAINT anywhere....
