Thanks for the tip.

Thanks. On another tangent...why was this message:

GC> > GC> In file ../src/msw/mimetype.cpp at line 272: 'AssocQueryString' 
failed with error 0x80070002 (the system cannot find the file specified.).

displayed only with 'wx_test.exe' and not with './lmi_wx_shared'?
Both use the same wx library, built the same way. The reason why
I ask is that I'm wondering if there's some way I could (optionally)
enable messages like this in the production system (say, only with
a special command-line argument).
