Hello World,

I'm working with an ALICE Image Compression Board from Telephoto communications,
Inc. To program this board I use the Alice software tools. This is a
compression library for Microsoft C version 5.0. For this purpose I bought the
Microsoft C6.0 compiler. But I'm NOT very pleased with this compiler because it
is so SLOOOOOOOOW. 
I heard that TURBO C++ is able to read and use microsoft libraries. So I tried
it with some simple microsoft routines and it worked. 
But I can not get it to work with the compression library. The linker doesn't
complain but the program crashes on an exit. It seems that the _exitfopen
pointer is damaged by the compression tools.

My questions are:
- Is there somebody who is using this board who has tried the same thing ?
- Can somebody give me some hints to get it working ? 

BTW I use the large memory model
