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, being the first, isn't particularly complete. I wanted to get the structure right, so that adding functionality later wouldn't be so much effort. If you'd like to suggest features, please mail me and I'll do what I can. libwin 0.1 can be downloaded from: http://irix.bris.ac.uk/~rd5718/comp/mysoft.html#libwin or: http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Lab/3216/#libwin The first link is preferred, as this is where my home pages are situated.
