Q67274: REsearch() Function Prototype Not Found in EXT.H Header File

The Programmer's WorkBench (PWB) function REsearch(), although
included in EXTSUP.LIB, is not prototyped in the EXT.H header file. To
call REsearch(), use the following prototype:

int REsearch( PFILE pFile, flagType fForward, flagType fAll,
              flagType fCase, flagType fWrap, char _far *pattern,
              fl *pflStart );

For more information, see online help.

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in PWB versions 1.00 and
1.10. We are researching this problem and will post new information
here as it becomes available.
