Bjoern,

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but...

To use Microsoft C to prepare applications to run under Windows, it is necessary
to use a special compiler switch (-Gw), which MS has so *generously* provided.
(My understanding of what using this switch actually *does* is limited, but I
think it adds some sort of prologue to procedures so that they can find their
data segments.)

We have been told my MS support, for example, that we cannot link .obj files
into a Windows application unless they have been compiled with this switch.
(Actually, I can't believe that this is 100% true, but it's what they told us.)

Unless you can get your M2 compiler to do that -Gw magic, or can figure a way
around, you may have some tough slogging.
