Re: DLLs

I have a copy of the professional VC5 disks, and I went exploring. I
found that the source to SCRNSAVE.LIB is included with the developer's
kit, and read it. (Sorry, I can't post it. Copyright and all that.)
However, I can tell you that the description of which messages
DefScreenSaverProc handles and what it describes as the actions it
takes are all the magic there is. It acts on those messages and no
others, and calls the default windows procedure just like any other
windows message handler if it doesn't handle it. Implementing the
message handler as described in the Microsoft documentation will be
very straightforward.

If anyone wants to do this, please post the SwiftForth code for
DefScreenSaverProc here and I will check it for problems.
