.... And there is no way to load a NE-type exe or dll, although Windows has
got not problem executing/using them ... (shown by the fact that
"MorIcons.dll" is used for what it's name allready indicates : "more icons"
:-) )

Sorry, there seems to be not 16-bit LoadLibrary function available (as far
as I can see in the header-files I've got ...

Yes, that's certainly doable (in fact I've allready done as much in another
app), but that doesn't remove my queezy feeling about Windows being able to
execute/use the NE-style files, while I cannot reach, by way of standard
calls, any of the resources in them.
Thanks for your response though.
