Does DMC++ support any librarys from MS Platform SDK, what should I do?

I tried. Nothing's changed.
I tried to use COFF2OMF but it converts winspool.lib to a small empty file
(no declarations really), then compiler links it but of course finds
unresolved symbols... I even tried to use borland's coff2omf utility wich
seems to convert libs correctly, but then linker outputs this error again:
Error 43: Not a Valid Library File

Is there any way to use winspool.lib and shell32.lib with digital mars?

Thanks.

AFAIK, Microsoft has changed the COFF format for import libraries with 
Visual C++ 6.0. You have to convert the import libraries with Microsoft's 
link (link /lib /convert x.lib) to the old format and then you can use DM's 
coff2omf.

Thnx, for a great reply. Now I can link, but when I execute my application I
get an error that winspool.dll is not found, and it's true: there's only
winspool.drv. What should I do?

Try renaming winspool.drv to winspool.dll. Alternatively, patch your exe
file changing winspool.dll to winspool.drv.

Ok now I'm greally gooft:

to use DM ;)

Try a link switches as:
/CO /L /M:ADDRESS :GROUP /X /NOI /DE /DET /PACKF /XN /NT
/ENTRY:WinMainCRTStartup /BAS:4194304 /A:512 /RC   :.\<Project>.RES

Are you sure you need to include WINSPOOL.LIB into your project? I've got quite
a few MFC projects with DMC++, but do not recall ever having to include
WINSPOOL.LIB...

Yes! That was exactly the problem ( I added /ENTRY switch ;] ). BTW,
winspool.lib links itself even when I don't.
So, my application runs perfectly - thank you ALL for help!

Have a nice day/night,
Taifun.

Thanks, I'll update the coff2omf documentation.
