Win 32 Functions for Regina, version 1.0.2

This package is a small collection of functions which provide access to
the NT registry and event log, and to a large set of applications
through OLE Automation.

The functions originally appeared as part of the Regina port performed
by Ataman software, which has been shipped with the NT resource kit.
I have changed the source code to allow the functions to be loaded
from a dll using rxfuncadd, and I have corrected some of the poorer
features of the design.

The package is released under the terms of the GNU Library General
Public License version 2.

I will attempt to fix bugs and add new features as I have time and I
feel the need. Please let me know via e-mail to my personal address,
ptjm@interlog.com, if you encounter bugs, require new features, or would
like to contribute code (including examples) or documentation.

Please see w32funcs.tex (or w32funcs.rtf if you don't have LaTeX) for
a description of all the functions. Please let me know if anything is
unclear, especially if you aren't technically inclined.

This is version 1.0.2. I will increment the third digit if I ever do a bug-fix
release. I will increment the second digit if I ever add new functions. I
sincerely doubt that I will ever increment the first digit, but it would
indicate major new functionality or a complete re-implementation or something
like that.

To compile the library using Microsoft C, type nmake.

To install, copy w32util.dll to a directory in your path (e.g., the directory
with regina.exe).
