And it changed to dummy-argument at the GpSfile(). - Config.exe Changed. We changed interface of the Config.exe. It can show the VGA monitor. Config.exe use ApiConfig.dll and Config.vxd(in \Windows\System). It can execute API-GPIB if not be this VxD, but Config.exe can't display PCMCAI's resources. Ver2.00->Ver2.10 1997.12.08 --------------------------- - GpSrqEventEx(), GpSrqOn() functions added. Solved a problem of GpSrqEvent() that turn to be not able to handle an event.

Help: 1)in the definition of GpSrqEvent() of VB False) hWnd As Integer True ) hWnd As Long 2)in the Return Values False) consists of 32 bits, low order 16 bits, high order 16 bits True ) consists of 16 bits, low order 8 bits, high order 8 bits Help: 1)in the definition file of VB (GpSrqEvent, GpSrqEvent2, GpSrqEvent3, GpSrqEvent4) False) hWnd As Integer True ) hWnd As Long - Config.exe Changed. Config.exe use a Config.vxd(in \Windows\System) in this version. It can execute API-GPIB if not be this VxD, but Config.exe can't display PCMCAI's resources. - Added Uninstall program. Ver1.00->Ver2.00 1997.06.17 --------------------------- - Translate speed fixed.
