Dan, here's another one you'd like: zdnet.com First, a humorous outtake: Shifting gears, so to speak: Microsoft's announcement last week of the Auto PC, a version of its new Windows CE 2.0-based PC Companion handheld for the auto industry, included Volkswagen as one supporter. With VW rereleasing the Beetle, one Feline fan wrote in to express relief that he can now look forward to a PC in his Bug, instead of the other way around. Second, a "1984" outtake: Microsoft has some interesting language in the end-user license agreement for Microsoft Agent, the software that lets you create those cutesy animated characters within Windows. The agreement says the licensee can use the Agent API to create characters and animated images, as long as "you do not use the [files] to disparage Microsoft, its products or services." "There goes the 'Topless Bill G' idea," Spencer grumbled.

I'm not quite sure what the deal is here but are Windows dll's that ill-documented that nobody can say what's in which? Sheesh, and this is the software that will rule the world? I'll repeat my (not very deep) question, of those 220-228 files, which are standard Windows runtime from before IE, which generate html, which are needed to display it, what's the linkage? Not that I expect an answer, but nobody else seems to want one either. I think they intentially "integrated" the dlls with the Dos/Windows core functions. Doesn't have to have anything to do with html stuff. Could be some of those "Evil" calls. They want the court to "name" files. It's pretty easy to change the name and re-link. JMHO. Mr. B
