Maybe I'm too much a C++ freak, but "elegant" and "C" do not get along well for me. Have you looked at WTL / ATL before writing your own wrapper? My guess just is that you would be able to attract much more Windows developers in helping with Cheetah if it was written in C++ rather than C and be using common Windows APIs instead of a custom wrapper. -- Sebastian
