Does this mean that the Filename should be given before the linker options are given?. Please Clarify,i think i am clear abt myself. Manish. _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com. -- Want to unsubscribe from this list?
