Uhm, IIRC the -fnative-struct feature aligns the structures so that MS objects and GCC objects can be linked with one another. But, I may be mistaken, it's been more than a year or two. As for the speed options, I use -march=i686 to speed it up as well as -O3 which adds the inline functions option. Earnie. _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
