Don't know if this has been found before, but I think I have a bug in the 17.1 beta release... Very simply, when compiling a C++ program that includes , the preprocessor includes from the C++ include directory, instead of the (lower case) string.h from the C include dir. This isn't a problem under Unix, I suppose, since "String.h" and "string.h" aren't the same file, but under Windows 95, it's causing problems. Besides annoying warnings of "implicit" declarations of strchr(), I get programs that won't compile due to this error: myfile.cc:23: ANSI C++ forbids comparison between pointer and integer ugh. For the time being, I've been adding the function prototypes myself (usually just need strcpy and a few others...), but this needs to be fixed/worked around. Thanks, --Ryan C.
