this error message was in the simulator build as far as i can remember back.

there seems no real dependency to that file. it think we should comment that out, until someone complains, why it should be in. i
don`t find afxres.h in any of my cygwin installations.

maybe "corrupt" was too harsh words from BC - but i have seen this too.
daniel - BC did the right thing here!
in older simulator builds, the screen display was perfect - but suddenly i could see somewhat vertical and horizontal "interference
lines" in the simulator screen. that was somewhat annoying, but i didn`t report that as a bug on the ML. you couldn`t really see
them very well, but i can post a screenshot if you like. BC`s modification seems to work good - display now seems to look perfect
again. (seems, win32 simulator isn`t very popular :D )

regards
roland
