Hi Simeon,

 SC> MSGAPI.H knows to use the 32 bit setup. And then.... it

Which structure? What is the error?

 SC> So what do I need to do? Is it a matter of switching 
 SC> GCC somehow, or is there a different version of 
 SC> MSGAPI.H that works with GCC, or WHAT?!!!

I have used MSGAPI with emx 0.8h sucessfully, I haven't used it since I
installed 0.9a but it shouldn't need any more changes.

You will have to change one or two of the included files (compiler.h if I
remember)  One thing is to make sure that #pragma pack(1) is active when
the structures in msgapi.h are declared, or you will have real problems.
