There seems to be a lot of crap after the install under Sandcastle. Hopefully they can get that working one day. XLW...

<t>Found the sandbox. When I get my confirmation code I will put everything there. That should make things easier for everyone.Ah. Did not know this project had to be C++2003 compatible.

QuoteOriginally posted by: rmaxHave you checked the Welcome Thread?That is the first thing I looked at. It does not seem very welcoming. It talks about trolling and has a link to qfcl.wilmott.com.Maybe it is just me, but I found that to be confusing.
