Hi,Hi !
I only read FAQ201 at this time, no such point found ... Oh, its in the
new FAQ211. Ok, i promise to read your newest FAQ (is 211 your newest ?)
before asking such silly questions above.
Nevertheless, many thanks for your hints. Now i have to proof, whether
i should reprogram my project in BC5 using WDOSX or not...arghh, the
windows-development-enviroment is horrible..
Regards,
Gero
