Just to be sure I did remove the link option, and checking with depends see that there are now only delay load references to secur32.dll, nothing direct - as is the case with 8.2 So the only other changes I can think of that might affect things are the VC++ build or the shared memory changes, though I can't see why they would cause problems offhand. I'll go try a mingw build... /D ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 6: explain analyze is your friend
