Yes I found out about Winmm.lib. That's the version for 32 bit applications. But it is not a default library in the VC IDE. It has to be maunaly included. At least in the version I have.

They did not use MS development tools. They used the crappy old UNIX command line tools. Bob Macklin Seattle, Wa.
