Has anyone been able to get this to work on win 98/me platform?

I really should upgrade one of these days.

I tried compiling it with wincons.lib and this is what I got.

Oh. Recompile the WinCons library and try again. The missing
functions are the "pre-HLA4MASM" form. I had to change all
the HLA StdLib function names to upper case to make MASM
happy.

I need to make a note to fix this for the v1.60 release.
