(get the big bin package!) also get the oledb SDK 1.1, or the help compiler & some other things won't work (unless you have VC++ I guess.) http://www.microsoft.com/msdn/sdk/default.htm rc has no problem with NL terminated lines, so it works with binary mounts. rsrc from rsxntdj1.zip seems to handle all types of resources correctly, in the last couple of days, I have been able to compile and link all of the sample applications that I've tried from the SDK using these 2 tools. archie for your nearest location, or it's available on ftp://ftp.uni-bielefeld.de/pub/systems/msdos/misc. or any djgpp mirror. BTW the next best solution I was able to come up with was lrc from the lcc package, and res2coff, if you don't want to talk Micros***. also in rsxntdj.zip are the patches for the SDK headers. I did have to do some hand work on them, to get everything to work, so I will post my current diffs, and some additional tools I used, to http://wwwdim.uqac.uquebec.ca/ftp/pub as SDK_for_ming_cygwin32.tar.gz If you're doing developing for win32, I strongly recomend mingw32, it gives you a FREE runtime, faster apps, and you still have cygwin32 for debugging and posix apps. Nice job Colin !!!!!! ;^) - For help on using this list (especially unsubscribing), send a message to "gnu-win32-request AT cygnus DOT com" with one line of text: "help".
