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 DOS boxes). All that is required to use the functions is to include one file and link a library. The functions are documented in man page format, and HTML format (converted from the man pages). This version, a slight advancement of the first, is mainly a bugfix release. The main improvement is that some environment are set automatically by the library using Windows registry settings, so that DJGPP can use functions like getlogin() and getpwent(). VxD entry points can now be obtained using the file name of the VxD (bug fix), and some VxD information has been corrected. The registry functions can also be called using the Windows function names. libwin can be downloaded from the following place: http://irix.bris.ac.uk/~rd5718/comp/mysoft.html If you have any suggestions for the library, please mail me and I'll see what I can do.
