Yes this works. In fact it is the /Z7 switch witch triggers succesful 
compilation instead of the /ZI we use (default for VC, if you work inside the 
IDE). I get a 'deja vu' feeling from the days of VC++ 4.2 when some std::map 
constructs didn't compile on /ZI while the same code builded succesfully with 
less debug info (e.g. /Z7).

As far as the pp statements: I have seen the library and tried it 
enthusiasticly. Unfortunately it were two days of frustration, and that 
because of preprocessor failures which are always harder to track than just 
compilation errors. In the end I could track it down that even a simple case 
of using the pp wasn't accepted by VC++ 7.1. Of course I used the /ZI switch, 
which we can't let go for the project, because it gives maximum debug info.

Thanks,
