Hi Troy,
How is your Mom doing? I pray well.
The info about the VC++ is what I needed to know. I did find the compatible
dirent on the CVS so I guess I will not need the dirfuncs files after all. I
am able to compile the Sword.dll in VC++ but When I add it to an MFC project
the class POSITION conflicts with MFC's POSITION definition. Todd's fix by
using the __VCBUILD__ macro (see below) looks promising. Although I have not
had a chance to test it it might be what I need to do. If I find it fixes my
problem can it be added to the CVS version? I think the reason it hasn't
been a problem up to now is that no one is trying to use the dll in an MFC
project like I plan on doing.
In Christ,
David
