Hello Frank,
Thanks for the reply.

I thought of that too, but decided on the Windows style! The DWORD
parameter in most Windows structures for user-defined parameters.

Makes a lot of sense. However, is anonymous structures supported by non-MS
compilers. Sometime ago, it seems to be a problem with the Mingw32/Mingw
compiler (the gcc-based Windows compiler). I do not know about others.

BTW, a little code to illustrate your points will make my friend easier :-)

Best regards,
Paul.
