It's an ongoing development library - just needs people, like yourselves, to find and report errors. Possibly even find solutions and submitting them to Derek to put in the next update. With a version number like 0.59, it cannot be a full version - those usually get a number like 1.1 or whatever :) The difference, as far as I can see, between win32lib and the others I've looked at, is that it tries to remove the need to have lots of different calls to w32_func(), etc in someones application. Encapsulating commonly used features under a single procedure name, instead of having half-a-dozen variants. My suggestion - don't deride it, help it.
