<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks for the info, that clarifies matters. I
interpreted your use</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>of "Win32" to refer </FONT><FONT face=Arial
size=2>to platform-wide problems, not the (hierarchical)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>win32 </FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2>API
binding.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The </FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2>issue has been
fixed, but you may want to consider using the</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>non-hierarchical 'win32' hslibs
package for the projects you refer to.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>It has been </FONT><FONT face=Arial
size=2>proven to work, something the hierarchical version hasn't</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>yet </FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2>(due to
</FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2>lack of wider-scale testing.) If people working
on/with</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>the Win32 library think that's an unfair claim,
please speak up to pass</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>on the good news.</FONT></DIV>
