DirectDraw help

["Frag_ Daddy" <frag_daddy_@hotmail.com>]

     I just started trying to use DirectDraw awhile ago (not Direct3D, 
though--I like OGL better) because I wanted to write a software renderer 
(kind of software, since DirectDraw allows access to the memory like DOS 
does and I don't use a 3d API).  So when I wrote my program, I set it up ( 
or tried ) and I got link error 2001 on MSVC++ 6, which is "unresolved 
external symbol".  I'm not a newby in compilers, and I obviously know enough 
to link DirectDraw.lib into my project, but it doesn't work.  I don't know 
what's wrong.  To be more specific, I try to query for the newest interface 
like so:

DDrawInt->QueryInterface(IID_IDirectDraw4,(LPVOID *) DDraw4);

    Also, I know that IID_IDirectDraw4 is a macro, and as far as I know, the 
linker doesn't even touch them.  So why do I get a link error saying

LNK2001 unresolved external symbol IID_IDirectDraw4

    I'm sure it's something obvious, but I don't see it and I'm getting 
really annoyed.  This sucks.  Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks.
