odd -- I've seen two replies to this message, using another news server
(where I didn't have permission to post) -- now that I'm back on my
regular ISP and news server, I can no longer see those replies, so I'll have
to proceed form memory
for the first respondent, by way of explanation -- Petzold's book is aimed
specifically at Windows, it does not use Microsoft Foundation Classes, and
is written almost entirely in C -- this makes for small executables --
at least, it would if I could get it to work
the problem is that the author makes heavy use of macros to condition the
environment, and while these macros may work well enough with W98, they
generate compile-time errors when used with W2000 and Unicode -- probably
because he never had chance to test them
thanks to both respondents -- I shall take my query to a Windows-oriented
forum
regards to all . . . /phil
