- I have tried (on previous occasions) the IMPORTS thing, and it enables the program to link ok.
-
- However, I have NEVER got DebugOutput to actually output anything. I am using the DBWin
- program provided in the SDK to display messages. OutputDebugString, and TRACE both work,
- DebugPut doesn't - ever!
-
- Does anyone know what I am doing wrong?
