- and medium-model Windows DLL libraries as distributed with Visual C++ 1.0:
-

- fclose
- _fcloseall
- freopen
- _fstat

-
- If you have trouble:
- ======================
-
- If you have problems running this patch:
-
- - Make sure you copied the appropriate patch files.
-
- - Make sure you have the correct version of the files to be updated.
- This patch will only patch files from MSVC v1.00.
-
- - If you receive the warning message "Warning wpt0015: Old File does not
- exist" from the patch utility, note the following:
-
- 1) Ensure that the current directory contains the files to be updated.
-
- 2) The default installation for the Professional Edition does not include
- alternate math runtime libraries (SDLLCAW.LIB / MDLLCAW.LIB). If you
- did not install these libraries, ignore this message.
-
- - If you receive the warning message "Warning wpt0036: Invalid copy of
- file found. No update can be done" from the patch utility, check to make
- sure you're using the correct patch files for your edition of Visual C++:
-
- Professional Edition: PROLIB.RTP
- Standard Edition: STDLIB.RTP
