I'm sorry, but I fail to see any specification in the hole Harbour tree 
regarding on what must be included in the hbwin library. Exception made on 
this brief entry:

	doc/dirstruc.txt
		- Collection of Windows specific utility functions.

By removing the WIN_PRN class out of hbwin I was precisely promoting the use 
of the new ole lib "hbole" and consequently on their improvement (if any).

In fact, WIN_PRN class stored in hbwin lib simply blocks the usage and testing 
of the "hbole" lib for users that need WIN_PRN functionality.

What message is that ?

You should post that message in my message requesting advice specifically on 
this matter in last friday: "Using OLE and WIN_PRN classes" 

I just react to the only reply to this message by an user having the same 
problem.

best regards,
