WINDOWS NT


----------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Win32 Software Development Kit (SDK) for Windows NT
   version 3.1
----------------------------------------------------------------------

The "Win32 Help" help file correctly states the following about
DeviceCapabilitiesEx():

   The DeviceCapabilitiesEx function is not implemented for the first
   release of Windows NT. It is exported, so that applications based on
   pre-release versions of Windows NT will load, but nothing happens
   when it is called. Applications should use the DeviceCapabilities
   function.

However, the hard copy documentation gives the complete specification for
this function, as if it were already implemented. This is a documentation
error in the Win32 Programmer s Reference.

NOTE: The Microsoft Developer's Network (MSDN) CD includes these manuals,
including this mistake, as well. The help files are generally more up to
date because the printed materials must be completed at an earlier date
than the help files.
