libwin 0.1.4 Announcement
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

libwin is a library of functions for DJGPP, distributed under the GNU
Library General Public License. The aim of the library is to allow DJGPP
programs to make better use of the Windows environment. Thus, it includes
clipboard access, user information, version information, low-level device
driver (VxD), DOS box and virtual machine titling and registry
functionality.

Most of these functions will only work under Windows '95, but some less
complicated functions will work with Windows 3.x. Their status under
Windows '98 and Windows NT is unknown. It seems likely that they will work
under Windows '98, and unlikely under Windows NT (because of NT's poor
MS-DOS support).

This version is mainly a bugfix release. libwin should now build with
binutils versions greater than 2.8.1. It can now also be cross-compiled. A
new demo was also contributed, which copies the entire screen to the
clipboard.

libwin can be obtained from here:

>From the web page you can browse libwin's documentation. libwin can be
downloaded directly:

    http://www.phekda.freeserve.co.uk/richdawe/dl/lwin014b.zip (binaries)
    http://www.phekda.freeserve.co.uk/richdawe/dl/lwin014s.zip (sources)

If you just want to build programs with libwin, download the binary
distribution. If you want to rebuild libwin from scratch or look at the
sources, then download the source distribution.

Please note that this library is not being actively developed, so the only
future developments will be bugfixes. If someone wants to develop it
actively, please feel free to contact me.

Thanks,
