I remember that when I was still using VC6 I regularly had to update the PSDK in order to make the conformance tests happy (but note that I had a bias towards using the PSDK headers). But at some point I became stuck because I couldn't get the new PSDKs to work with VC6. That's when I got forced to switch to VC2005. So I'm not sure there exists a PSDK that's both recent enough for the conformance tests and compatible with VC6. -- Francois Gouget <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://fgouget.free.fr/ $live{free} || die "";
