- Bob,
- I was having a similar problem until I selected a 'Quickwin application'
- project type from the "options" menu item. Now I can write code to my hearts
- content, compile it and run it without all those nasty MF Classes cluttering
- things up. The output appears in its own little window and everthing smells
- of roses ( until I start to use those MFSCs - see my article just posted re
- link errors - Any ideas bob? ). Using the Quickwin Proj Type will at least
- get you through writing some starter code which produces results.
- Pete.
