I'm not sure why _you_ are referring to th M$ compiler but I was 
referring to it because it simply was the compiler causing 
the inconvenience.
And I was not referring to it as the (or even a) standard. The only 
standard I was referring to was the C++ one which definitely isn't 
from Micro$oft but isn't simply linkable either, cause you have to 
pay to read it.
In case you haven't noticed yet, most work for Dia on win32 is done
with the M$ compiler ...
