< Big snip

but my 'log' looks a bit like this - but different set of problems,

and I was trying to use the current CVS AND MSVC 8.0 beta 2. Should have
learn to walk before I tried to run :-((

I need a LOT more hand holding please  - though I can dimly remember using
command lines decades ago ;-)

I say again - the process MUS be OK to be achieving such stunning results,
but the documentation is NOT.
