Item ID   Filename       Description
-------   --------       -----------

S14742    96W32QA.EXE    The 96W32QA.EXE file contains the source code for
                         the "Win32 Q & A" column by Jeffrey Richter.

S14744    96CQA.EXE      The 96CQA.EXE file contains the source code for
                         the "C/C++ Q & A" column by Paul DiLascia.

S14743    GENTHUNK.EXE   The GENTHUNK.EXE file contains the source code for
                         the article named "Test Drive Win32 from 16-Bit
                         Code Using the Windows WOW Layer and Generic
                         Thunk," by James Finnegan.

                         The Win32 Generic Thunk API allows you to call
                         fast 32-bit code from your 16-bit application.
                         James Finnegan first explores the WOW (Windows
                         on Windows) layer of Windows NT, then shows you
                         how to streamline your code with Generic Thunk.

S14745    SERVDLL.EXE    The SERVDLL.EXE file contains the source code for
                         the article named "A Primer on Building Server-
                         Style DLLs for Windows with MFC 2.5 and OWL 2.0,"
                         by Ted Faison.

                         Writing a DLL that will provide services to
                         multiple applications at once is not especially
                         difficult. Your DLL needs to have an internal
                         structure that enables it to keep, manage, and
                         track requests from different apps. Ted Faison
                         shows you what traps to avoid.
