Using an uninitialized structure

[B. Schulte]

Well, the CHAR_INFO structure is stored in the win32.wincon file. There was something I took from dsource to use the winAPI methods. 

I didn't want to write in orginal files to fix a problem. I thought about fixing the problem somewhere else. (Don't modify the wincon.d)

However, it still doesn't work.
Error 42: Symbol Undefined _D5win326wincon9CHAR_INFO6__initZ


There must be some way to use uninitialized variables :(
