[Mono-devel-list] Using WinForms on WinNT

Hello Peter,

Ansi or Unicode version should be specified for those functions
in win32functions.cs. This will be fixed.

I do not think that some code in SWF depends on this dll now.
IMHO it's safe to ignore this warning for a moment.

I think that both points are not correct.
1) Run on Linux with Wine produces more warning like this.
The reason for them is incomlete specification of Win32 API
function names ( A/W at the end). 

2) (to my knowledge) there is no WinXP specific code in SWF.
