- Howdy out there.
-
- I have a screen saver for windows which I am trying to compile using
- Borland C++ 3.1 and/or Turbo C++ for Windows 3.1 (we've got both here
- at work), & I have a problem.
-
- Yes, I hear you say, this is to be expected, but the problem is not
- the usual bugs (I've put the 3 BC++ 3.1 fixes on), but just stuff
- completely missing.
-
- The screen saver makes use of functions in <scrnsave.h>, i.e.
- DlgGetPassword, DefScreenSaverProc, DlgChangePassword and
- DlgInvalidPassword. I know these are in <scrnsave.h> because
- the help files for BOTH BC++ & TCW++ tell me all about it when
- I get keyword help (Ctrl-F1) on the above keywords. However,
- I've done global searches throughout the entire directory structure
- of both programs & I cannot find the header file, or the appropriate
- library file.
-
- As far as I remember I done full installations on both programs.
- Unfortunately I can't find anything in the manuals either - we had
- 3.0, & when we got the upgrade to 3.1 the only new book we got
- was the 3.1 installation manual, which was about as useful as
- an ashtray on a motorbike, so I've struck out there.
-
- Does anyone know where the files are? Is there something on one
- of the innumerable install disks I have to put on manually? Is
- there a bit I missed? Is this stuff available from a anonymous
- ftp site? Or do I have to wait until the next release comes out?
-
- BTW, I heartily advise & support using GCC/DJGPP for UNIX/DOS
- program final compilation, and BC++ for the development environment -
- I can get (computationally intensive) programs to run an average of 30%
- faster on IBMs under DJGPP's 32 bit protected mode than BC++, and even
- 15+% faster than the Intel Code Builder.
-
- Unfortunately I'm stuck with Borland or Microsoft for Windows
- development, however :-( ;-).
-
- Thanks in advance
