HXDOS : how do you identify import missing from system dll ? (DOSX)

Hi,again, DOS386 !

I've had a look. (You're right, sorting is a PITA. Can you suggest a ready made, preferably free-ware program that will sort exports / imports and optionally dump info to a text file ?)

For the record, I found the following imports listed by my build of Bochs, which _unless I goofed_ are NOT exported (not listed by name) by HX's win emulation :

KERNEL32:
307 FindFirstFileExA

USER32:
516 MapDialogRect
688 SetScrollInfo

I'm not in Windows programming and my set of toolz therefore very limited : can you please check for the above functions?
Assuming they're missing indeed, ... how would we proceed if we needed them added, given Japheth is no more available to work on the libs for HX?

> Yes, by-ordinal-imports are an additional liability

I've looked up only regular imports by "my" bochs, not checked imports-by-ordinal or using "getprocaddress".
