Re: newbie from VC7.1 link issue

Thanks for the quick response John, but could you please be more 
specific.

When you speak of library files, do you mean the bin subdir or some 
subdir under the bin or the libs subdir?

When you speak of library path, do you mean my 
MSVC "Tools>Options>VC++ Directories>Library Files" setting or the 
MS-DOS "lib" environmental setting.

Also...
Is there a document that describes in detail how to setup the MSVC 
7.1 environment to compile and link with the Boost libs that I 
couldn't find and didn't read.

much appreciated!
