Hello,

I found out that an environment variable DOS that was needed in 4.53  is 
not needed anymore, but now I run into a few problems..

here's one :  error msg is :   "Cannot convert 'waveformat_ta *' to 
'const tWAVEFORMATTEX *'

void TVoiceMessage::SetupWindow()
{
TDialog::SetupWindow();

play_butt->EnableWindow(FALSE);
stop_butt->EnableWindow(FALSE);

// open stereo 22.05 khz 8 bit wave input
// allocate memory for ten seconds of sound
hGmem1 = GlobalAlloc (GMEM_SHARE | GMEM_MOVEABLE, sizeof (WAVEHDR)) ;
hGmem2 = GlobalAlloc (GMEM_SHARE | GMEM_MOVEABLE, (DWORD) 10L * 11025L) ;
if (hGmem1 == NULL || hGmem2 == NULL)
	{
	BWCCMessageBox (NULL, "Could not allocate enough memory.", "Error", 
MB_ICONHAND | MB_OK) ;
	return;
	}
// leave blocks locked for both input and output
lpWaveHdr = (LPWAVEHDR) GlobalLock (hGmem1) ;
lpData = (LPSTR) GlobalLock (hGmem2) ;

// Looks like shit, but else it won't start
lpWaveHdr->dwBytesRecorded = dwBytesRecorded ;
lpWaveHdr->dwBufferLength = dwBytesRecorded ;
lpWaveHdr->dwFlags = 0L ;
lpWaveHdr->dwLoops = 0L ;
waveOutOpen (&hWaveOut, 0, (LPWAVEFORMAT) &pcmWaveFormat, (WORD) 
HWindow, NULL, CALLBACK_WINDOW);
}
