dang i'm a gnat's hair away from a succesful link... any way to keep the linker from looking for this code?  i have a shell32.dll as part of windows os but i don't have a linkable lib file for it... can i make a header with declarations for these functions and #include it maybe?

compile line: sc -Jm -w -mN -DNDEBUG -WA -D__NT__
link options: /NOD /ONERROR:NOEXE
included libs: everything in dm\lib and nafxcw

the shell32 line was an error in the makefile, must have been left over from msvc...

well i ran lib.exe on the nafxcw.lib and the list didn't show the offending functions.  their names are in the file though, so i guess that's the problem? i spent an hour or two trying to hack the right mfc\src\ files and the winspool.h so that OpenPrinterA and those other function names won't end up in the library.  rebuilt the nafxcw.lib with projects\nafxcw.mak and finally got a link.  however still get the No Start Address Warning though... by that time rcc problems popped up so i went to bed!!

i guess i can try to fool with implib but for now my head is hurting and i need
coffee!!  thanks again i'll stick with it...

i think i oughta do the implib thing on winspool.drv and add it to the link maybe that'll work... it looks like a dll inside even though it's a drv extension.  thanks walter!
