I ended up doing something like you suggest. I couldn't get Ben's suggestion(s) to work, then I noticed that my .cpp files weren't even including the PalmOS.h -- so I've probably got something pathological going on.
My issue is that this code was developed on the Macintosh, while I'm developing under Windows. I need to get the code to a place where I can compile and fix bugs pending a complete re-write. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Free software - Baxter Codeworks www.baxcode.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Logan Shaw" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > > Or just copy the struct definition into your own header and rename > it FormBitmapTag_BeforeOS32.
