I tought as HX already emulates this API, there might be a way to make this emulated API public. What I mean is to compile a win32 API program using (already existing) HX win32 API emulation using a native DOS compiler.

Not sure if that is possible, but if it was - there would be possible to compile at least some win32 API apps to native DOS executables (that require or embed HX - not sure how that would work). :)
