Summary:

On page 362 of the "Microsoft C Advanced Programming Techniques" (APT)

manual shipped with C versions 6.0, 6.0a, and 6.0ax, the /c option for

IMPLIB is documented to direct IMPLIB to be case sensitive. This is

incorrect because /c is NOT a valid IMPLIB option. The option that

directs IMPLIB to be case sensitive is /NOIGNORECASE (/NOI). This

option is documented correctly in the online help.

The following is the incorrect section from APT:

The IMPLIB command has the syntax:

IMPLIB [/c] libfile deffile [deffile ...]

or

IMPLIB [/c] libfile dynlib [dynlib ...]

The /c option directs IMPLIB to be case sensitive. By default,

it is case insensitive.

The corrected documentation should appear as follows:

The IMPLIB command has the syntax:

IMPLIB [/NOIGNORECASE] libfile deffile [deffile ...]

or

IMPLIB [/NOIGNORECASE] libfile dynlib [dynlib ...]

The /NOIGNORECASE option directs IMPLIB to be case sensitive. By

default, it is case insensitive.

The documentation for C/C++ version 7.0 has been corrected.
