Hello Chris,

	Maybe my first experience with the WIN32 channel access libraries is of
interest to others: I pulled the WIN32 stuff from the EPICS distribution
a couple of days ago. scaget and scaput worked out of the box which was
nice. Then I tried to write a small Windows95 channel access client,
using only calls to ca.dll. I had to get a bunch of .h files from our
UNIX distribution which were not in the .ZIP file (callback.h,
epicsTypes.h, shareLib.h). I was using Borland C++ 5.0 and had a compile
problem with errmdef.h which tried to include vararg.h in addition to
stdarg.h. I applied the following fix then everything worked:

#ifdef __STDC__
#       include <stdarg.h>
#else
#ifndef __STDARG_H   /* added RK 970409 */
#       include <varargs.h>
#endif               /* added RK 970409 */
#endif
#include <ellLib.h>

Additional question:
Is there a PC based channel access client somewhere which is a DDE
server?
				Thanks    - rolf -
