Have you tried adding the help file to your project? If you do when you 
include it in your main program use "ddraw.h" as opposed to <ddraw.h>.

Remember this will only work if you added the file ddraw.h to your project.

With warmest regards,

I had to buy VC++ 6 to do anything more than very basic Dx applications. Not 
sure what new Dev-C++ is like with it though.

further linker options in project options or compiler options: -lddraw. Did you
do this, isn't it?
