I tried to open and compile this source and I get 3 errors, all with the same line of code: LPDIRECTDRAW7 g_pDD = NULL; // DirectDraw object here are the errors: C:\mssdk\samples\Multimedia\DDraw\src\DDex1\ddex1.cpp(39) : error C2146: syntax error : missing '';'' before identifier ''g_pDD'' C:\mssdk\samples\Multimedia\DDraw\src\DDex1\ddex1.cpp(39) : error C2501: ''LPDIRECTDRAW7'' : missing storage-class or type specifiers C:\mssdk\samples\Multimedia\DDraw\src\DDex1\ddex1.cpp(39) : fatal error C1004: unexpected end of file found now this is source right out of the DX7 SDK... I am using VC++ 6.0, so I dont understand what the heck is going on here... MS cant even write compilable code with their own junk?!
