Hi Peter!

At 29-09-95 Peter Fitzsimmons squeezed among other things this out of
his/her keyboard:

 PF> I know not what VA (cset 3) is up to,  but the fact that you could link
 PF> with cset 1.0 libraries means that the *.LIB's and *.OBJ's _are_
 PF> compatible.

But not the *.obj and *.lib that are created by VAC++ by default. VAC++
introduced a now obj-format to get easier compile and link c++-code with
templates. In earlier versions you had to invoke the linker via the
compiler to resolve templates. With the new format, the linker is also able
to resolve templates.

Nevertheless there's an option to produce the old obj-format.

Until the next mail...,

Stefan.
