Why is that? Is there a .h file that only comes with the HTML Help Workshop that you need to #include? Or is it that you need the import library at link time? My Windows knowledge is pretty rusty, but maybe you can use LoadLibrary() to get around this. See: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms686944(VS.85).aspx Approaching this from another angle, it looks like the HTML Help Workshop is something that MS lets you download for no charge. If that's right, needing it wouldn't stop users from recompiling winboard; it would just be an inconvenience. > How come the old WinBoard did not need a library to define the > function WinHelp() ?

I think WinHelp is in one of the standard Windows system libraries, so you didn't need the old help workshop to link to it. -- Tim Mann [email protected] http://tim-mann.org/
