Hello,
There are a number of elements here that I hope everyone takes into
consideration properly:
1. Until Win32 Dir and SD are documented in the manual, I do not consider them
supported (this wasn't as clear as it should have been in the ReleaseNotes).
That said, it *is* released, it *does* work, and it *will* be fully
supported, hopefully in the near future.
2. Not having the Win32 Dir/SD documented in the manual clearly implies more
than the usual number of support problems.
3. Nawfel may not be native English speaking judging from his email address --
this adds one extra level of complexity. Eventhough I am fluent in French,
and the part of the French manual that is translated is *really* excellent, I
would have difficulties understanding it because my "technical" language is
English.
4. Nawfel, if you are not using your normal professional email address, I
consider that a mistake (not totally correct/honest), but something that
unfortunately seems to be prevelant with some corporations.
Regards,
Kern
