Yes, I (ofcourse) found that entry too. Alas, the function description
starts with the lines :
"<lpLibFileName>
Points to a null-terminated string that names the Win32 module (either a
..DLL or .EXE file)."
And somehow that makes me think that this function does not like 16-bit
modules either ... :-)

.... that's what I call a(n unpractical) "work-around".

Furthermore, as mentioned in the above, there seems to be no 16-bit
"LoadLibrary" available (Can't find it in any of my include-files, or other
documents I have).

Thanks for your response though.
