I recently had a similar problem with the example from the book Windows 95
Programming for Dummies. The libraries I had to link with were user32,
gdi32, and cygwin, though what you need may vary. The command line
should be something like:
gcc -o programname {object files} -luser32 -lgdi32 -lcygwin
-Wl,--subsystem,windows.
This is what I tried, and it works. I hope this helps you.
Ares out.

Don't you wish you were using Pegasus Mail for Windoze. If you were,
you'd be able to click on the URL's. :-). Get it at
http://www.pegasus.usa.com/. Damn, another one of those URL's.
