What are the incompatible clauses? I imagine that the compiler from VC++ would be considered part of the OS and therefore qualify for the OS exception. Since Borland is a replacement for VC++, I expect that it would, as well. A better solution, however, would be if the code would build using a free compiler and free libraries. -- Raul
