I would say that the dynamic binding facilities will only be used if you actually write virtual functions -ie use the ++ part of C++. Considering that a comparison is being made with MSC5.1, i'd say that the test program is a STANDARD C program (no K&R vs ANSI here please) and that the BC++ compiler is defaulting to standard C compiler (was this specified?? I don't think it'll make a difference anyway!) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chris Cogdon [Brataccas] s872625@minyos.xx.rmit.oz All spelling and gramatical errors are the fault of a malicious filter.
