MSVCRT lib in PureLibraries\Windows

Hi,
What I should do to be able to use the msvcrt lib available on PureLibraries\Windows ?
I tryed some function with and without undescore but the compiler always complain: "fopen_() is not a function, an array or a linked list".

Thank you,
RValois.

You can't use these library directly, they are used by the compiler for the purebasic librairies.
So, what you can do is to code a userlib wrapping such function and then you will be able to use fopen, fwrite etc ... as normal purebasic commands.
Btw, why not just using the winapi functions ? (SetFilePointer, CreateFile, ReadFile ...) or the pb internal files functions :roll:

Because there is no such thing as one to one relation between crt and winapi nor crt and pb functions. :roll:
fopen was just an example.

Any way, thanks for the info.
