This is on a dual-processor 2.8 GHz Xeon with 2 GB of memory, so I don't think hardware is an issue. The /TIME option gives the following result: Pass 1: Interval #1, time = 11.313s Pass 2: I ...Show All

Now I have older libraries that were built according to their advice using the msvcrt.lib and that rely on the presense of the __iob function and the function is not in the new msvcrt.lib. I don't know how to proceed ...Show All
