I am a proud new owner of the DMC CD and am currently nutting my way 
through its use.  I'm using the comandline version rather than the IDDE. 
  The IDDE is a bit confusing to me.

In VC++ you could specify the use of either single threaded or 
multithreaded libraries in both debug and release versions.  Is that 
something you can do in DMC as well or what?

Please excuse me if this is a really dumb question, but hey, I'm new to 
this ;)

I think I just figured it out my self...

Correct me if I'm wrong;  The multi/single threaded options in the VC++ 
IDE are in reference to the VC runtime library.

If thats the case then I change my question to: Are there multi threaded 
and single threaded versions of the DMC runtime library (or is it 
statically linked only?) as well as debug and release versions...

Cmon, help a pathetic newbie out ;)

Tristan Ward

RTFMD! DMC's RTL is thread-safe (aka "multithreaded"). There is no
"multhreaded" vs. "no thread" RTL. Just static vs. DLL versions.

To be honest, there's not much of a performance penalty to a single thread
program unless your program's performance is dominated by making RTL calls.
