The prototypes are missing in the WINDOWS.H header file. Just add them as
shown in the online help or in the printed manuals. If not (and if you
use warning level < 3 you will not even get a warning about missing
prototypes) the compiler assumes them to be of type cdecl and adds the
leading underscore and therefore the linker does not find them.
