New Web Server
Please note that some of the old, familiar subwebs offered on this domain have relocated to a new server, and in the process their URLs have changed. For example, what was www.mvps.org/win32 is now win32.mvps.org. This process is ongoing, and we hope fully transparent to most visitors. If you link to any such sites, redirection should be in place for some time to come, but we would suggest that you may want to update your links at your convenience. Thanks!
