We are running SunOs 4.1 on Sparcstation 1's and 1+'s and using Sun's C++
compiler version 2.0.

When we initially compiled the NIH class libraries we found that we could not
get them to work unless we removed the _main.o from libnihcl.a and used as the first line of our main

NIHCL::Initialize()

This seemed to work fine, but we are now running into troubles with what we believe to be multiple instances of the NIL object.

When _main is left in libnihcl.a it seems that it never gets activated.

We cannot find any meaningful or useful references to _main.C in the Sun
manuals.

Has anybody had any experience with using a custom version of _main?

Has anybody else followed the same path as us and can advise?

Should we be looking somewhere else for the problem?

Any help would be appreciated.
