Well, I supposed you can hardly blame Zortech for this since it boils
down to using "unexported" resource. And we all know that Windows gets
totally confused in such situation. Okay, may be blame it on Microsoft's
linker if you must blame somebody  :-). Once compilation is done, everything
is handed off to the linker and there is nothing the compiler can do
beyond that point.

Thanks ! So, that's why my version of ZTC++'s Windows example worked
fine  :-).
