Thanks Eric, it does help to answer some of the questions I have. I also was
able to get the programs to compile without a console. It ended up being a
typo in my makefile. 

Ok I'm still really new at this so feel free to tell me to shut up and guide
me to what book i need to read. I've been attempting to build the comctrl
lib that you wrote for wine under mingw but have a few questions before I
waste alot of time on it. 

1. Wineserver emulates WinNT by default right? I understand the whole
Wraping X11->GDI and POSIX->Win32. But how generic is this? Should porting
these higher level libs be very hard?

2. There is some redundant declarations in comctrl.h most of the redunacy
occurs in include/messages.h and defines.h. Also some declarations lacking
in windows.h that are wines winuser.h. How should this be aranged?

3. From what I have already seen the UNICODE stuff looks like it will be
hard to fix. So the finaly queston is once again, am I going to be wasint my
time trying to port this?

Thanks for all your help 
Steven
