    I'm using the Polygon API function to draw a number of polygons. Under Win95/98, if I have more than 32768 (2^15) points, the function fails. Under WinNT/2000, the function succeeds. Does anyone know if there's a limit of 16 bits for the nCount argument under 95/98? I thought that 98 was supposed to be an actual 32-bit system, but apparently not. Thanks.

    As for your first question about the count limit for 95/98, I don't know. But it's more like a bug in the DLL that prevents it from supporting more than a 16 bit value. It has nothing to do with the OS.

    you could always re-call the function with the final point of the last one. If that function closes the polygon automatically, i think there is another one that doesn't.
    createpolypolygon? Check your references.

    And no, win 98 is not a 32 bit os. It runs on top of dos just like all the others before it did. It is only 32 bits in some places.
