• Visual C++ a compiler bug

  Hi, just found a bug in vc 2003 c++ (and c ) compiler. The problem happens when i use shorts to iterate over a vector and when speed optimization is turned on.

The code works well in debug mode, the poblem arises only when I turn on speed optimization. Let me know if this is an unknown dug - I'll provide details. BR V ...Show All

• Visual FoxPro running an app from a different partition

  I want to run a VFP application (an exe file) from another partition. When I tried to click on the icon it gave me an error message that msvcr71.dll not found. In fact there is one on that partition but a much older version it seems.

In case of dBase I had ...Show All
