Hi folks,
Forgive any duplications. Had some problems with a firewall...;-)

Ok.
Just wanted to say, for the record, that I have no problem implementing these sorts of
things (constants) as they are pretty straight-forward, at least on the surface. Also
"IsProcessorFeature()" is an NT4/Win2k(?)/XP specific api call and won't work for Me/Win9x
systems since they have no such api call. At least they didn't last time I checked.
In this case I would simply add the constants directly to the winnt.h file. I become
concerned, however, when I am asked to implement complete api calls such as
IsProcessorFeature().
Peace,
Paul G.
