+Shows a dialog asking the user for numeric input. The dialogs title is set to
+{\it caption}, it contains a (possibly) multiline {\it message} above the
+single line {\it prompt} and the zone for entering the number.
+
+The number entered must be in the range {\it min}..{\it max} (both of which
+should be positive) and {\it value} is the initial value of it. If the user
+enters an invalid value or cancels the dialog, the function will return -1.
+
+Dialog is centered on its {\it parent} unless an explicit position is given in
+{\it pos}.

\section{Printer settings}\label{printersettings}
+These routines are obsolete and should no longer be used!

The following functions are used to control PostScript printing. Under
Windows, PostScript output can only be sent to a file.
These macros are defined in wxWindows.

+\func{wxUint16}{wxUINT16\_SWAP\_ON\_BE}{\param{wxUint16 }{value}}
+
+This macro will swap the bytes of the {\it value} variable from little
+endian to big endian or vice versa if the program is compiled on a
+big-endian architecture (such as Sun work stations). If the program has
+been compiled on a little-endian architecture, the value will be unchanged.
