I don't get it: if you built the program with Dev Studio, then it is
not a DJGPP program, but an MSVC program, is it?  If so, how is this
all relevant to DJGPP, which is what this forum is all about?

I thought we were talking about problems you had with DJGPP programs.
I cannot help you with MSVC, because I don't use it and don't have it
installed.
