Hi Nigel and K.--

I suspect that the C++ runtime system must be initialized before you
can run a C++ module. I am not sure how this is done, and probably it
is rather system dependent. The problem is that IDL is not a C++
program, so this C++ initialization never occurs. I am not sure
whether it is or is not possible to do this at dynamic load time. Or
if, such initialization happens automatically with dynamic loading.

An acceptable alternative may be to have your C++ module be a separate
program, and communicate with IDL using pipes (ie, SPAWN, ...,
UNIT=unit).

Good luck,
Craig
