   Hi Tavis. Thanks for your reply.   
      
   That solved the problem!   
      
   My next problem is that my functions appear to have an   
   underscore in front of them (from kernel32.map):   
      
   0001:00000040       _WriteFile@20              10001040 f   kernel32.obj   
      
   What will Microsoft be doing to suppress that?   
      
   Here is how each function I define looks like:   
      
   #define WINAPI __declspec(dllexport) __stdcall   
      
   I'm guessing that Microsoft has done something special   
   to avoid namespace pollution. Any idea what?   
      
   Thanks. Paul.
