It did. =)  I had to "unfix" the code to regenerate that error, but when I
looked it now shows the whole thing:

200 C:\LiteStep\modules\archive\winplace\winplace.cpp
invalid conversion from `void (*)(HWND__*, char*)' to `void (*)(HWND__*,
const CHAR*)'

What I'd like to do eventually is combine some of the functions in winplace
and winctrl, then toss in a couple of new options. I've gotten winplace to
compile successfully now, but I'm stilll having some issues with winctrl. It
sets up some sounds to be executed when certain actions occur:

if (bUnshadeSoundSet) sndPlaySound(WinUnshadeSound, SND_SYNC);

which generates errors like this:

[Linker error] undefined reference to `[email protected]'

I don't know if this is referencing obsolete windows calls or if I'm just
not linking to the right libraries; I just commented out the sound functions
for the moment, as they can be dealt with later. I edited all the bang
function arguments so that they conform to the prototype, but some string
functions are unhappy when that is done, e.g., in this bang:

void BangWinMove(HWND hCaller, LPCSTR pszArgs)

this line generates errors:

else if (strstr(strlwr(pszArgs),"centered"))

unless it is changed to this:

else if (strstr(strlwr((char *)pszArgs),"centered"))

Is there a set of string functions/typedefs that should be used now for
safety, consistency, and to conform to the current LS core code? Some of thi
s source code is kind of old...

Ahhh - one last thing - anyone know how to minimize the size of the DLL's
created by dev-c++? Even with full optimization and no debugging they are
running 113 kBytes.

Thanks!
