I have this problem with TPW.  I am learning how to do TPW's menus, dialogs, etcwith Resource Workshop  - and am joggin through it with Neil Rubenking's
Turbo Pascal book.

I always thought that Resource Workshop was pretty cool because you could
access Borland's nice-looking dialogs, etc.  However, I have just found out
(from reading Rubenking's book) that unless BWCC.DLL is loaded (i.e. if you're
doing something like running Resource Workshop) your nice custom control
dialogs don't load up properly.

I tried it this morning and he was right.  But he says, instead of using
WObjects and StdDlgs, use the units WObjectB and StdDlgB - wait a minute...
I don't think I have those units (it would stand to reason - because I pur-
chased TPW when they bundled WRT with it.  My Resource Workshop comes with
TC++ for Windows).  Apparently, you have to use these units to build a
stand-alone program./

So - I was wondering if anyone can help me - by telling how to get them or
if they can get them to me or whatever!!!!!!!

Anyway ... at least I can still do dialogs - even though they'll be as
boring as watching paint dry...


Thanks.
