Since IDDE is using a dll version of compiler that is frozen at the current
release level, you need to use the exe version of the compiler for beta
versions. After you install the beta compiler, the easiest way to do this is to
open a console window, change to the project directory and do:

smake -f [projectname].mak

or

smake -all -f [projectname].mak

The former compiles and links for changed files, and the latter does a rebuild.

Why doesn't Walter provide a beta dll version of the compiler? Sometimes 
the corrections justify running a beta build.

Wouldn't it be even better to only have a dll version of the compiler which
is used by the IDDE and by the console frontend (dmc.exe/sc.exe)?

Yes, it would be, but the dll interface to the IDDE grew so complicated it
wasn't worthwhile.

Having a release and a beta works better for me, since I have developments and
deployments to maintain. A dll only version would mean I would need a
c:\dm-beta, or do something in the make file. As it is, I don't install the dll
distributed in the beta.
