# To subscribers of the xforms list from "Martin Heine" <mheine@lightartvision.de> :
I allways put the forms.h directly into the directory of my
c-files in my project.
The reason I started to do this is because
when I gave my uncompiled project to other people,
it allways created errors there, caused by the missing
forms.h.
