Hi, Keith

> Bruce - can you please provide a little more info on using "the
multi-threaded run-time library"?  I also have a dual processor
machine running WinXP Pro, but have had to set the processor affinity
so BCW only utilizes one processor - otherwise, I have constant
application errors with the IDE.

Sure, in the Project's TargetExpert setting, check Multithreaded. This
links with the libaries that end in T (stands for thread-safe?). For
example (using dynamic librarys),

CW3230MT.DLL (run-time lib)
BDS52T.DLL (class library)
OWL52T.DLL (OWL library)

I'm not sure if the above applies to IDE instability, though. I have
used BCW on a multi-processor Windows2000 machine, but not on
multi-processor XP. If you are referring to the integrated debugger, I
agree it is unstable! I gave up using that long ago and switched to
TDW32.EXE.

HTH,
Bruce
