Mike,
I can't off hand think of a more generic way to do it. Note that MS does not
guarantee that .dsp files are text files and therefore to be *strictly*
correct you are really not allowed to run sed scripts on them either. The
only MS supported way to make this change (to my knowledge) is in the MSVC
"Setting..." dialog. What you would want, if it is even possible, is some
script using COM automation to manipulate the .dsp through some script API
supported by MS. I don't know if that exists.
Cheers,
Trent
