Have been doing some serious code cleaning recently, fixing an age old link problem that had been preventing all of my software compiling with the multithreaded DLL versions of the C++ run-time libraries.

It was all down to a single stupid #pragma directive ticked away in a header file, which was actually excluding the required LIB file [although there was no obvious sign that this is why the lib was not linking properly — and I’d forgotten it was even possible to do that with #pragmas]. I think I added the directive years ago to avoid some MFC link error… clever me.

Now that I can finally link my software against the DLL runtime libraries, I can shave between 50 and 90K off the average executable size… but I probably won’t bother since it will be at the expense of a new DLL dependency. Still, it’s nice to get it sorted and at least have the option.

BookReader is in the process of getting UTF-8 support, which is a nice thing, and I’m testing a version of eLibrary which uses the aforementioned index files now available from Gutenberg.

JujuEdit… soon soon soon… I’ve got to get some new user configuration options in there; The damn thing doesn’t even have the standard Tools->Options property page, with everything still handled using sub menus with checkable items. Yuk.
