Thought I'd start with that part first. I've installed Borland C++, copied the Generic application from the MS SDK sources disk into a brand new subdirectory, and I can't get the thing to link properly. BTW I can compile the Borland demo program so I suspect the problem is in the project file "environment" as I've set it up. Here's what I did: 1) Created a new PRJ file called generic. 2) Added Generic.c, Generic.h, Generic.rc and Generic.def to it. 3) Under Options/Application, I chose "Windows App" 4) Under Options/Compiler/Entry/Exit Code I have "Windows ALL functions xportable" set 5) Under Options/Environment/Editor, I set the default extension to C 6) I selected Compile/Make EXE file I get 6 link errors, each of the following form: "Linker Error: _hInst defined in module GENERIC.C is duplicated in module GENERIC.C" The same message is displayed about the _InitApplication, _InitInstance, WinMain, MainWndProc, and About functions. Since Borland C++ stores the information needed to compile a program in the PRJ file, I suspect that I haven't set something properly. I know they HAVE to be able to compile the simplist SDK program........ Anybody run across this problem yet????? dfs -- A new world record in the javalin throw / / / I ------------------------------------------------- David Sampson Harris Corporation dsampson@x102a.ess.harris.com Gov't Aerospace Systems Divison uunet!x102a!dsampson Melbourne, Florida -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
