LIBWIN(7) libwin Reference LIBWIN(7) NAME libwin - libwin Library Overview SYNOPSIS #include <libwin.h> DESCRIPTION libwin is a library for DJGPP that allows programs to use some of Windows's functionality to enhance DJGPP programs running under Windows. COMPONENTS This library provides the header file libwin.h and a link- able library libwin.a. If not all the functionality of the main header file is needed, individual header files can be included, e.g. #include <libwin/registry.h> to use only the registry functions. Several conventions are used in the library. Functions that begin with win_ will work under all versions of Win- dows (i.e. 3.x, Windows '95). Similarly, function that begin with w95_ will only work under Windows '95. Usually following this prefix is something indicating the func- tional group, e.g. reg_ or clip_, so that there are func- tions like w95_reg_openkey() and win_clip_empty(). Before using any of the library's functions, win_init() should be called. This sets up the library and uses the Windows environment so that some DJGPP functions work properly, where they would have failed under DOS. See wininit(3) for more details. I do not know whether the library works OK under Windows '98 or Windows NT. I imagine that some of it will work fine Windows '98, but I doubt much will work under Windows NT. If there are any bugs, mistakes, corrections or sugges- tions that you have for the library, then please mail me them. Please see the section AUTHOR below for details.

This code saved my sanity, as I was unsuccessfully trying to write something similar. This code appeared out of the blue, just as I gave up. See the details for Alfons Hoogervorst below, as he is the maintainer of this project. CREDITS Alfons Hoogervorst <alfons@hoogervorst.demon.nl> http://www.hoogervorst.demon.nl/~proteus/ He provided lots of helpful information, and all the registry access code as part of the RegDos Group. I would have given up on this library, if he hadn't provided the registry access code. Salvador Eduardo Tropea (SET) He pointed out a problem with using libwin headers in C++ and provided a fix. Laurynas Bivienis He pointed out a problem with using libwin headers libwin 0.1.5 22 September 2002 2 LIBWIN(7) libwin Reference LIBWIN(7) in C++ and provided a fix. The DJGPP Newsgroup news:comp.os.msdos.djgpp This is one of the best newsgroups on the Internet. The people are very friendly and helpful. Some of them provided me with some help - I can't remember who, but thanks. The FAQ's pretty helpful too. The compiler's good too - I wouldn't dream of using anything else for coding for DOS. libwin 0.1.5 22 September 2002 3
