- I use Borland C++ 3.1, plain C (but not OWL) and they work fine.
- (Windows 3.1). They were real easy to implement.
-
- I do have one small problem
- with truncation of a string in a MessageBox. The string has
- embedded \n to make a 10-15 line display, but it truncates at
- about 10 lines (perhaps 512 characters?). It works fine without
- ctl3d. I'm not sure how colour changes affect the string, though.
