Mike,

please don't give up! :-) I suggest you put all your comments into
a file "windows_dll.txt" and store it in CVS in
/documents/windows_dll.txt

I would be glad if your comments are stored there. If required
I can put this file into CVS for you.

Probably we add another file: "new_code_structure.txt" or similar?

Yours

 Markus
