	You need to either disable "optlink linkage", with the command-line
option to ICC of /MS, or do the following in either a general header file
or the source code itself:

		#pragma linkage(GpiLoadBitMap,system)
		#pragma linkage(WinDrawBitMap,system)
		#pragma linkage(GpiDeleteBitMap,system)

	This worked for me!
