Contratulations!

Two questions:
- I found that a lot was checked in June 13 brings quite a few changes,
just after I took the last update before our code freeze. Those include
a new driver and a number of changes related to fast user switching. I
was wondering if anyone could comment on how critical those changes
were. At this point of our project, I can't take changes anymore without
any major reason...

- I've noticed that the you guys had followed my past advise, and
grouped version info declaration in a header file included by the
different resource files. However, the implementation did not include
the advised separate rc2 file for the version part, to make the scheme
compatible with Dev Studio's resource editor. Bottom line, Visual Studio
removed the declarations from the resource file (I guess that's what
happened, as it happened to me a few times...), and you are now back in
the previous situation with all strings burned into every .rc file. If
you wish to have again version info centralized & use VisualStudio to
edit non-version info resources, you must create a second resource file
.rc2 that you include in the regular .rc file.

To repeat the info I gave in the original suggestion email:

The versioninfo.h file that lives at the top of the source tree contains
all the info needed. The resource files then need to include that file
and use the definitions made in it.
If you have problems with a resource editor (Visual Studio will replace
the defines by their value if you open the resources with a non-text
editor), you can place the version resource in an other file included in
the original .rc file. For instance:

Winvnc.rc:

#include "winvnc.rc2"


... (remove the version info and leave the file otherwise unchanged)




Winvnc.rc2: (to be edited with a text editor only)

#include "versioninfo.h" // adjust the path as necessary...
