Hi to all,
I'm late. Got two buisy days.

I did so, but there where no results using Windows search for
contents. Searching for "c0pkg32.obj" - no results too. Crazy!
In the end I got the idea and looked around for any tool for search
of contents: Ampersand File Tool - quick and dirty, but the grep
works well. Gave me 222 lines with "c0pkg32.obj", but none
with "copkg.obj" ... Thinking about ...
In addition I did check both tools with "version" and "projects".
Must say, that my(!) Windows search dosn*t work well searching for
contents. Seems to filter for files extention - could not find a way
to adjust it (same on two different installations of XP).

Indeed the IBO-source-version is 4.3A + 4.3Aa - an error of mine.
Indeed the linker did tell me about "C0PKG32.OBJ" (number 0) when I
wrote "COPKG32.OBJ" - I must beg pardon. Maybe putting my nose closer
to the screen will help in future. Should by new glasses (?) ...
When I got this, the problem was easy to fix (thanks to Paul: I did
learn about the problem).

Fix: There is a special version in the IBO40EDT_C5.bpl's
project/options/paths, pointing to "..\.\lib". Changing it to equal
the others works well. The linker doesn't trow anymore an error.


Best regards,

Fritz
