<P><FONT size=2><FONT face=Arial>It is not a must to build everything using one
compiler, but it makes life much easier.<BR><BR>I agree that after you build one
component using the new compiler, <STRONG>and have tested it
thoroughly</STRONG>, you don't need the old compiler any more. Throwing away the
old compiler after you only started working with the new compiler is not that
good idea. Once you will find some race, you will always stay with the doubt
that the problem is in the compiler.</FONT></FONT></P>
<DIV><FONT size=2><FONT face=Arial><FONT color=#0000ff>Two more
notes:</FONT></FONT></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2><FONT face=Arial><FONT color=#0000ff>1) We can probably
continue for the moment with the old compiler, but we will have to move on
sooner or later.</FONT></FONT></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2><FONT face=Arial><FONT color=#0000ff>2) The real reason that
it takes such a long time to move between the old compiler and the new compiler
is not really related to the new compiler.</FONT></FONT></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2><FONT face=Arial><FONT color=#0000ff>The main reason is there
are 3 modes that we want to support: 1) 64 windows. 2) 32 bits
windows and 3) 32 bits application working over 64 bit windows. The real problem
is making 3 work with the new compiler. As far as we see it now it never really
worked with the old compiler as well. So I believe the time that it takes now is
really a bug fix rather than a move to a new
compiler.</FONT></FONT></FONT></DIV>

code<BR>><BR>><BR>> I don't think there's any requirement that we
build<BR>> everything as either DDK or WDK. We could always build
part<BR>> of the tree using the DDK, and others using the WDK. Once
a<BR>> component builds in the WDK, there's no reason to have it<BR>> also
build in the DDK.<BR>><BR>> - Sean<BR>><BR>>
