still toying with various compilers, here's two new questions (to whom it may concern):
**** dlls/gdi/freetype.c line 1467 the test for "(offset < 0)" is always false. I'm not sure changing it into "offset == -1" is the right solution.
*** dlls/ole32/hglobalstream.c line 602 the test "if (newPosition.QuadPart < 0)" is always false as QuadPart is unsigned
A+
