- Apparently there are alot of internal bugs in commdlg. If you want to use
- bwcc you may want to read PC Mag (vol 11, nums 19-20). They use TP code
- but explain the pitfalls. If you just want to 3D-fy the commdlg try instead
- (since hacking a working commdlg & bwcc model is such a headache)
- using Microsoft's offical 3D library. Look at Excel 4.0 to see what it can
- do. It's trivial to use and apparently will be part of future Windows versions.
- The library is called: ctl3d (dll, lib, header). I got it from the
- Microsoft msdnlib forum on Compuserve. Note that they keep separate the library
- and the technical notes on the topic (makes sense!). If there is enough interest
- I might upload it to CICA.

- Gook luck
