Thank you for your input and your time. Your GDI library is a great value.

Basically, I'm trying to develop a VFP-based XML-fed downloadable applet. For what it's worth, it seem doable with the help of molebox (a great russian software tool)

I try to reduce the code size (done), compress the VFP dlls + ocx-es (done via molebox) into a single library, and avoid as many risky dependencies and actions (such as relying on temp file resources).

You'll be most welcome. It'd be fine to be able to create stream objects from VFP, for this case and possibly a couple of ocx that require them. I'm at a loss when when i need to use win32 api from VFP:)
