My stuff is in Delphi, so I don't use the .h files, I'm not even sure
which one's you'd need.
You should grab the source from the main site, it'll have all the .h
files you'll ever need.

I need the include files as well so I can build against the library.

If I get your client, will it work with all 8.x versions of the server?
Not very. I'm was using the 8.2 client to hit 8.2 and 8.3. I just
recompiled the client to 8.4 (in beta 1, just to make sure it compiles
ok on mingw). I'm currently using it to hit an 8.3 server. I'm not
using anything "advanced" though... just the basics and I'v never had a
problem

dunno. I saw a while ago on the newgroups someone asking about a "make
client" for the source... but I think they just need someone to write it...
I put a copy of my dll here if you wanna try it out: (this was built
with 8.4 beta1, and hits 8.3 just fine)
