Best...

Hi zmbd I didn't think anyone would read this so quickly!

I have produced a DLL version of my code that I use in applications where it is important to know the order in which files were selected. The code is written in PureBasic format but nevertheless the WIN32 API calls are in the format of the MS SDK so can be easily reconciled.

As I mentioned, the task turned out to be non-trivial because you need to take into account...
