Hmm, could be, possibly the only function that fits the bill. If my theory 
was right, then changing %n in the ini file to %r%n would work - but it 
doesn't :(

Also, FormatMessage is in kernel32, so not much chance of a native DLL 
either :-/

Ho-hum, could be time to get onto the developer and see if he's interested 
in making his app. work under Wine.

Cheers.
