Pff. You should have tried writing software for Windows 3.x (16-bit). Or DOS. Or punchcards. The bad old days of programming. Kids these days have it easy with all this 32-bit and 64-bit protected mode, flat memory model fluffy-puffy goodness with nice shiny APIs. And then complete that package with the Internet and groups like this. You really do have it easy these days. Microsoft, back around the Windows ME era, bought some company's product for ZIP compression and decompression and then proceeded to integrate some hacked up and cut-down version of that product into Explorer. They also exposed a whole slew of APIs to developers (as is their habit) should someone want to integrate the functionality into an application. Windows has a vast, rich set of APIs, complete with VERY rich documentation. Each Windows release typically adds several thousand new APIs to do stuff with (although most are fairly esoteric these days and aren't always very clear on what precisely they do). -- Thomas Hruska CubicleSoft President Ph: 517-803-4197 *NEW* MyTaskFocus 1.1 Get on task.
