Hi,

I'm running BC++ 5.02 on Win XP and I've noticed something that
absolutely puzzles me.  I'm trying to compile someone else's source
(SVGACC26.ZIP) into a DOS/Standard executable.  Now, I know this
package was designed for the Microsoft C compiler, but I just wanted
to see if it would build.  It compiled fine but failed to link.  Well,
that's about what I expected, but when I looked in my build directory
it created an executable!  I did not expect this behavior because I
assumed it was statically linking (and, of course, it failed).

I have been writing C/C++ code for Windows for over ten years, but I'm
new to pure DOS development.  So, I may just be off base with my
assumptions.

TIA!
