So it wasn't quite as easy as what you said, but thanks for the hints since that did enable me to eventually stumble through the process and get it compiling. I'm attaching the DS2WIN source after getting it to work with the latest libs but before any of my customized edits in case anyone else would benefit from it. Thanks again. Oh hmm... guess I can't upload it since I can't use more than 100k total for attachments... Putting it on rapidshare instead... http://rapidshare.de/files/36954146/DS2Win.rar.html DS2Win.part1.rar
