distributing dos executable (.exe) files

[sbenati]

Hi: I have a very simple question.

I use CompaqVF 6.6

If I want to give
the (myprogram.exe) code to a colleague, I have to
install VFRUN66OI.exe in his
PC and then my code will work.

Is there the possibility - through the compiler options -to create a "myprogram.exe"
file that will work in another PC without installing VFRUN66OI?

My code is very simple (just some numeric manipulation)
and old compilers were able to do that.

Best regards, Stefano

Go to Project/Settings/Fortran, select "Libraries" category and make sure that "Single-threaded" is selected in "Use run-time library" combo box. Rebuild if necessary.

[Small terminology correction: "DOS executable" means .exes which can be run under old 16-bit DOS. 32-bit executables with console interfaces are called "Console applications"; with CVF you can build only the latter.]

I thought that EXEs generated by CVF and run on computers without CVF installed had to have the Fortran run-time libraries installed. Why would specifying single-threaded for the project get around that requirement?

They don't have to have run-time libraries installed if they're linked with static versions of RTL ("Single-threaded" or "Multi-threaded") as opposed to Dll versions of the RTL ("Single-threaded DLL" or "Multi-threaded DLL").
