Or did I miss > something? (I don't use them myself.) MS compilers seem to optimize pretty well, etc, but _don't_ seem so good at being standards-conforming. I think one reason is that MS is reallly big on backward- compatibility, even when it means continuing to support horrible crufty old code that's completely invalid according to the standard. So bugs and misfeatures of past releases have a way of getting locked in... [A big chunk of my time at work is twisting "but it compiled with VS!" code into shape so that other compilers can compile it too...] -miles -- In New York, most people don't have cars, so if you want to kill a person, you have to take the subway to their house. And sometimes on the way, the train is delayed and you get impatient, so you have to kill someone on the subway. [George Carlin]
