Ok I'll take a look. I have had some experience of creating dll imports
for GCC to use a MSVC created precompiler (with the precompile only option)
and then feeding the C output into GCC. This worked very well. I'll have
a go at doing this with the SAP C/C++ precompiler and report back here.
Obviously this gets you into support issues though...

I agree, but it may be worth it in the long run, with a common compiler
on multiple platforms.

Thanks

David
