Ehtyar on using MXVCRT.

[Ehtyar]

You see what i mean.....apparently now I'm a slave to fashion.....whatever happened to opinion or personal preference i wonder?
MichaelW if you insist on consistently countering my statements, you may wish to better observe the words i use. You'll note upon decent inspection of what i wrote that i never claimed using system API was easier, nor did i claim that the entire contents of the crt was available using those API and i do believe i used the words "most likely" when commenting on the availability of system functions to use in place of the crt.

Thanks, Ehtyar.

Yes you did, and the "most likely" is what prompted my response. For the CRT functions that I use most frequently, and I believe I'm not alone on this, there are no system equivalents. And if a CRT function has a simpler interface and is easier to use than the system equivalent, then it could be argued that the system equivalent is not equivalent. Also, for our purposes, the CRT is in a DLL.

Hi Ehtyar,

You have a second option, to use static C run-time libraries. In the board, there is in example of using Pelle's crt.lib with Masm. This methode can be usefull in some cases.

Now that's just not funny. Hutch will know what i mean.
