Hi Steve, Thanks for spending some time on this.
I did look into inlining which thought me something but not anything useful for my immediate concern. I would be abandoning this line of attack in the integration and would follow the JFE example. Wish me luck. :) Thanks again. r/alex -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Steve D'Sa Sent: Friday, July 18, 2008 1:02 PM To: General forum Subject: Re: [Jgeneral] Help in integrating J with C++ on VS.NET 2005 Hi Alex, ..I can only say: #if defined(__midl) looks wierd to me...
