Hi Andrea, Thank you for your description - you have indeed followed the book flawlessly. I think the problem is the libwww.mak file - I hate these msvc make files - they are completely impossible to maintain and even more impossible for others like you to use. A major problem is that changes made to a "msvc project" are not reflected back into the mak file but kept in other places. The sysdep.h file was 6 months ago renamed to wwwdep.h as it clashed with include files from other software packages. Even the libwww.mak file that I am using still contains references to sysdep.h. Maybe you could try to compile it as a msvc project instead? I am not sure quite what else to do. Any other suggestions, folks?
