Not really off-topic, considering that our problem IS the fact that =
everyone's using these wonderfull tools (window libraries) without =
really understanding what's driving them. We are trying to port some old =
DOS applications to Windows, and it's turning into a real nightmare. =
Even file-sharing across networks was easier in DOS, just look at =
Clipper and DBase III applications.

It's a pity we have removed ourselves so far from the API that finding =
any real, practical knowledge about it is very hard indeed.

Thank you for the interesting read.
