FYI, I just tried these switches in BDS2006's ilink32 and it happily accepts 
them.  I've never tried building a driver with BCC though.  I would love to 
see this as an official feature though, even if just for the bragging rights 
(it's not a real compiler until you can use it for a kernel driver!)

At least with MS tools it is technically possible to write a driver using 
C++, but it's a bit dodgy because of what areas the compiler / linker places 
particular bits of code in.  It's been a long time since I wrote a device 
driver, and I never researched this much since I only ever used C, but I 
gather it was to do with some its of code being placed in sections that were 
loaded by the kernel into swappable memory by default... or something... 
that makes sense as a potential problem though if you expected your code to 
be able to run at any IRQL!  Ed, when you used BCB did you use C or C++?

Cheers,

David
