[comp.windows.ms.programmer] Zortech C++ and Windows 3

jgw88@ecs.soton.ac.uk (Webb JE) (01/30/91)

Can any one help me with Zortech C++ and Windows 3.

I can compile and link the example program, but when I try to run it, it
simply does nothing. I'm using a HP Vectra (386 I think, with 4 Mbytes
of RAM, and DOS 3.30) (doesn't make any difference does it...). The thing
that worries me is that after linking in all the object code, the final
program is only 29K long.

I had a variety of problems with trying to make Zortech work with the SDK
UNTIL I got the file WIN3KIT.COM from Zortech's BBS ((206)822-6907).  This
included a batch file that took apart ZLS.LIB, ZLM.LIB, and ZLV.LIB combined
them with parts from the SLIBCEW.LIB, MLIBCEW.LIB, and LLIBCEW.LIB that came
with the SDK.  You can then use the new ZL?W.LIB files that are produced
together with the normal LIBW.LIB and get executables that work just great.

After I got WIN3KIT.COM I've had no problems aside from Windows programming
problems.  No one can get away from those.

P.S. I wouldn't let a size of 29K faze me.  My application that decodes
GIF files and displays them is only 57K.  It has a file select box, about box,
scroll bars, dithering, etc.
