Subject: Dynamic Data Exchange (DDE) with gcc?

The cygwin b19 distribution does not include some
function prototypes and constants used by the Windows
dynamic data exchange (DDE) interface.  Specifically,
the following are not defined by windows.h:

  functions

	DdeCreateDataHandle
	DdeClientTransaction
	DdeFreeStringHandle
	DdeUninitialize
	...

  constants

 	APPCMD_CLIENTONLY
	TIMEOUT_ASYNC
	DMLERR_NO_ERROR
	...

But a few function prototypes and constants for DDE are in
the cygwin windows.h (DdeCreateStringHandle, DdeInitialize,
DMLERR_BUSY, XTYP_REQUEST, ...).

Is the full DDE interface not available because there are
difficulties using it with gcc?  Or has it been omitted
because noone has asked for it?

I'm trying to use DDE to remote control Netscape to display
html help for my NMR spectroscopy application.

Thanks for your help,
