Thanks, John, I'll make use of that.  BTW, I visited your DirectX 6.1 webpage
today.  You've a link to Anders' w32api.  You should modify that to point to
either http://download.sourceforge.net/mingw/ or to cygwin/latest/w32api/.  The
MinGW developers have taken on the maintenance of those headers and the CVS
repository sits with the Cygwin winsup repository.
