Or it might be because jacob is right and that you don't know what you're talking about. In fact I'm fairly sure that that's exactly the case here. The statement jacob made that you responded to was: All functions of C89 are available under MSVC as always. You will get a warning (that can be avoided by adding a #define) if you use them, that is all. He was, as far as I can tell, correct. (Apparently there are some configurations in which you'll get a fatal error. I do not believe such configurations are enabled by default. I'm waiting for confirmation on that point in another thread.) Do you have anything to say about the accuracy of what jacob wrote? Do you believe he was incorrect? Or do you just reflexively accuse anyone who says anything positive about Microsoft of being dishonest? You have dug yourself into a very deep hole. I suggest you stop digging. -- Keith Thompson (The_Other_Keith) kst-u@mib.org Working, but not speaking, for JetHead Development, Inc. "We must do something. This is something.
