Re: Re: Re: Re: DDE Server? Client?

It seems I could only get an old version of Win32::DDE

Any ideas about what went wrong? Will 0.0 work? Thanks again.

See A Guide To Installing Modules. Use the link I provided to download the zipped ppm. Here it is AGAIN http://ppm.activestate.com/PPMPackages/zips/6xx-builds-only/Win32-DDE.zip Unzip. I extracted it into tmp. C:\>cd tmp C:\tmp>dir Volume in drive C has no label.

I downloaded this link directly: http://ppm.activestate.com/PPMPackages/zips/6xx-builds-only/Win32-DDE.zip But when I looked inside, the .ppd file said: `<SOFTPKG NAME="Win32-DDE" VERSION="0,0,0,0">` This is the same version that ppm downloaded automatically for me (it had the same size, too). I still can't seem to find the mysterious 0.02 version. Remember that ppm said that it exists: `ppm> install Win32::DDE Searching for 'Win32::DDE' returned multiple results. Using 'search' i +nstead... Searching in Active Repositories 1. Win32-DDE [0.02] Perl extension for Win32 DDE callback 2. Win32-DDE [0.0]` [download] And the Active State web site also seems to think that it exists: ( http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Modules/dist_html?dist_id=9961 ) Any other ideas about finding it (or should I just use 0.0)?
