Hello,
since I expect Win95-API questions to become an FAQ in the next few
months, I thought you may be interested in adding a Win95 API list to the
SWAG WIN-OS2.SWG area...

The inofficial guide to Windows 95 API functions (Version 1.5)
(c) 1995 by Bernhard Rosenkraenzer

Changes since last version (1.0):
- Updated to Windows 95, Beta III (Milestone 8)
- Rearranged function descriptions to match function numbers
- Changed "other new functions" list to "list of all new functions"
  to give a better overview
- corrected minor mistakes - Kernel.38 (SetTaskSignalProc) and Kernel.352
  (LStrCatN) were listed as new functions previously, but they an obsolete
  ones.

Warning: All information in this document concerns the Windows 95 beta III,
March 1995. Specified information may be incorrect for the final release.
It contains functions that will most likely be undocumented, as well.

If you know how to use one of the listed and undescribed functions, please let
me know. My Internet address is bero@rage.fido.de, my FIDO-address is
2:2452/307.46.
You can obtain the latest version of this text by sending mail to that address.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
bool GetProfileSectionNames(long Buffer, word length)         (kernel.142)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Returns the section names of the WIN.INI file. Section names are the ones
given in []-Brackets. GetProfileSectionNames separates the section names
using ASCII-Code 0.

Buffer: points to a buffer to take the section names
length: maximum length of buffer

return: 1 = Successful

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
bool GetPrivateProfileSectionNames(long Buffer, word length, long filename)
                                                              (kernel.143)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Returns the section names of any .INI file. See GetProfileSectionNames for a
further description.

Buffer:   points to a buffer to take the section names
length:   maximum length of buffer
filename: name of .INI file to look for.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
bool CreateDirectory(long Directory, long whatever)           (kernel.144)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Creates a new directory, may use long filenames, may use "/" instead of "\"
for directory separation (example:
CreateDirectory("C:/Windows/System/Test CreateDirectory","") will create the
directory "Test CreateDirectory" in c:\Windows\System.)

Directory: specifies the directory name
whatever:  function unknown - must point to a string.

return:    1 = Directory created
           0 = Error

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
bool RemoveDirectory(long Directory)                          (kernel.145)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Removes a directory.

Directory: specifies the directory name

return:    1 = successful
           0 = Error

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
bool DeleteFile(long FileName)                                (kernel.146)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Deletes a file.

FileName: specifies File name

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
bool GetCurrentDirectory(long length, long buffer)            (kernel.411)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gets the current directory
length: length of buffer to take directory name
buffer: pointer to buffer to take directory name

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
bool SetCurrentDirectory(long dirname)                        (kernel.412)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sets the current directory. Supports change of current drive. (e.g. it is
possible to change from C:\Windows to D:\Star Trek)

dirname: specifies the name of the directory to change to
