    The problem is that the Windows NT image and object file format have a
    limit of 255 characters for a symbol.  A workaround was introduced in
    VC++ V4.2 for template names that exceeded the length for Intel, but
    it didn't make it into the Alpha compiler.
    
    The program runs (although with a lot of warnings about truncated
    symbols used for debugging) using the VC++ V5.0 that is about to go to
    Beta.

Thanks for the explanation.

If version 5.0 isn't an option for this customer, would it be possible
to make a compiler patch available or is it not that simple?

Thanks,

C.
