Ahh. When I did this I was using the old VADS Ada83 compiler, which required
Visual C++ to be installed. I figured it out from the Visual C++ help files.
Aonix made some sort of deal w/ Microsoft so that you don't need Visual C++. I
guess that deal didn't include licensing Microsoft's help files.

Clearly you are't going to want to be flying blind. So if the Win32
"documentation" you get with Aonix is insufficient, I'd suggest you pick up a
good Win32 programmming reference or two.

T.E.D.
