I don't know why it's done that way (it was there when I first used it). MSVC does not seem to do this, but DLLs created with MSVC are linked dynamically to MSVCRT.DLL (if you have /MD). I'll do some checking, and remove the getmainargs if it's not needed. Regards, Mumit -- Want to unsubscribe from this list? Send a message to cygwin-unsubscribe@sourceware.cygnus.com
