[comp.windows.ms.programmer] Zortech Windows Example

First of all, my thanks to John Munsch for directing me to the Zortech
BBS for win3kit--my floating point problems went away.  I would
appreciate a detailed explanation from anyone who really knows just
exactly what win3kit is doing when it rebuilds the libraries.

Now, the problem:

I downloaded file 'wintips.doc' which contained among other things
corrections for getting the 'test.cpp' windows example working with
windows 3.0.  (This is code that is included with the Zortech v2.1
upgrade.)  I made the recommended corrections and the thing STILL
DOESN'T WORK. Has anyone else experienced similar frustrations?
After reading the terse explanation in the v2.1 Update Guide on
how WBase establishes linkage between the Windows world and C++, I
am rather confused by the recommended 'fix' in the wintips.doc that
places the SendMessage AFTER ShowWindow and UpdateWindow instead of
BEFORE.  Doesn't it need to go before?  What difference would
placing it after have?
