And I've got SP1 of the .NET 2003 compiler, which is actually a significant change despite the minor version number - technically that'd be VC7.1, and it shows up as "Version 7.1.3088" in the "About" box of Visual Studio.
Build 7.1.3088 of Visual Studio .NET 2003 is RTM ("gold", ie. no service packs). Actually I first time hear about Service Pack 1 for .NET 2003 compiler; maybe you confused it with SP1 for .NET framework 1.1 (which has nothing to do with C++ compiler)? What's the output of cl.exe when called without any arguments? I was only able to find Service Pack 1 for Visual .NET 2002 (ie. Visual C++ 7.0), it's been just published at http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=C41D8159-B42F-4D06-... . BTW: somewhere in the middle of March I'm going to run regression tests against this build of MSVC7.0
PS. I took a look at my environment variables, and UNICODE isn't defined.
I think that John meant preprocesor symbol _UNICODE used by MSVC, not environment variable Regards B. -- Bronek Kozicki brok@rubikon.pl http://b.kozicki.pl/
