I have abandoned using Power Windows in favor of Tcl for new development, but
for those still developing with it or those needing to bring their Power
Windows code up to Manx 5.0, there'll be a couple things you'll need to do:

	Compile the C source output by PW with "-wo" set
		(this keeps some ptr/int problems from ending the compile;
		  the PW people should have used casts on some things)

	In an include file referenced by the PW-generated code, or via some
	other means, "#undef NULL" and "#define NULL 0".
		(the new Manx defines NULL as (void *)0, which causes some
		 invalid-use-of-datatype errors because they used NULL for
		 some byte values and such)
