The obj's have the same names, and the compiler is told which to use with a DOS environment variable. At least that's how it works for the later revs (2.0 and up). One does that by placing the lib objects in seperate directories, and then putting something like: SET M2LIB=C:!\M2LIB;C;!\M2LIBH (or 'L', as the case may be) in the autoexec.bat file. ...hope this helps... You can get a recent rev of the compiler from the FST conference on BIX. I think that uunet and gatekeeper.dec.com also have it available for FTP access. -- | John M.
