Depends...

If you're also relinking all applications that use the DLLs, then
fine...  but in that case, I don't see why you bother with DLLs at
all.

What, exactly, do you intend to do with the resulting DLLs?

Mike.Zarlenga> I see that build.info builds the .libs for VMS with a 32/64 
suffix, the same naming

1.1.n. So, maybe, our

statement for /^VC-/ ?

Yes, the top build.info is the file to make changes in for this.
However, once again, I really do not recommend this.

Cheers,
Richard
