You'll run into problems as soon as you try changing the alignment, or as soon as the compiler's developers decide to optimize something by changing the ABI and re-organizing order of the symbols. I've recently seen a question on the xercesc-dev list about single byte aligning - I wouldn't be surprised if the casting magic gets you into trouble on those kinds of setups (but you can always reopen the bug later). As for the two compilers: they are the same version (or at least they say they are). The only difference is that BCB5 was installed by the IT department and I installed BCC551 myself. I guess I'll be installing my own programs more often :| I don't know why the output is different in the two cases, but I'll live with it. In any case, I have a working Xerces-C DLL (which I personally won't be using - I just maintain the internal copy) so I'll live with the magic for now :) Thanks, all rlc --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
