subject: dapie is mirrors?

jl> Are these on the APAR list (I'm using DAPIE from the DevCon 9):

 jl> - GetProfile... functions use UPPER case keys.
 jl>   GetProfileString (..., "Item1", ...) returns default
value even if
 jl>   there is "Item1" key in the INI file. The key must be
"ITEM1".

Read the docs (daxguide.inf) -- this is the documented behavior I think.

 jl> - GWW_* values are defined even if they are obsolete in Win32!

The basis for Dapie is Windows NT -- not windows 95.  I do not know if this
still makes your statement true,  but I thought I'd mention it.

 jl> - macros min and max are not defined.

See stdlib.h


 jl> - messages DM_GETDEFID and DM_SETDEFID are not supported.
 jl> - functions _hread and _hwrite are not supported.

Not all functions/messages are supported.  "80% of the functions you
use the most".



 jl> - listbox created with LBS_OWNERDRAWFIXED has NOT ownerdraw style!

I have complained about several LBS_OWNERDRAW problems -- lets see if they
are related.


 jl> - when CreateWindow is used to create program's main window and
 jl>   right-Alt is pressed, program dies (I couldn't even 
 jl> set a breakpoint at the
 jl>   end of the program)!

Are you using Watcom by any chance?
