There's only one commercial supplier of Standard C and C++
libraries left today, and that's Dinkumware, Ltd.


Didn't know there was a commercial version. I haven't figured out yet
whether
my project will be open-source or not -- i.e., I don't know yet whether I
can
go commercial. I need to dig into everything a little deeper yet.


Fine. One of the reasons we tell everybody about our free
competition (which we do at our web site too) is to shorten
the time that potential customers take to get back to us.
Not everybody can afford "free".

But it's written by the same folks who brought
you the buggy, unreadable code you're trying to avoid, so
you might not want to try it.


Ah...... I will go ahead and mention a couple of the bugs, and you can
tell
me who was responsible.:) But, on the off-chance that they really were
yours, maybe we should do that offline?


I don't care who was responsible, I just want to know about any
potential bugs so they can get fixed. Feel free to post them
on this forum, for maximum exposure. Ofttimes the MVPs answer
faster and better than I can, because of their broad experience.
But in any case, I assure you that any real bugs will get the
attention they deserve, and will be put on track to get fixed
in a future SP or release by Microsoft.
