DPCHAT ReadMe 
 
This is a simple chat program to demonstrate usage of the DirectPlay APIs. 
 
Note: MSVC may include older versions of the DirectX header files and 
libraries.  This sample requires DirectX 5.  In order to avoid compile errors, 
make sure the path to the DirectX 5 header files and libraries are listed 
BEFORE the MSVC header files and libraries through the 
Tools -> Options -> Directories menu. 
 
Note: The DPLAUNCH or BELLHOP sample that is part of the DirectX 5 SDK can be 
used to exercise the lobby functionality of DPCHAT.
