OPTLINK : Error 118: Filename expected
LIB="D:\C++\DM\BIN\..\lib";"D:\C++\DM\BIN\..\mfc\lib";
^

I got that error while trying to compile my hello.cpp beginnres program.  It made a .obj file, but still had that error.  I went ahead and linked the .obj, and it came up with quite a few link errors.  I ran the program (yes, I know it was stupid to do so) and it froze my comp when I didn't close the error message fast enough.  Any thoughts on this latest error?  Is it just a case of "User error: Replace user"?

optlink doesn't do well with embedded + symbols in filenames. Try putting \dm in the root directory, instead of off of \c++.

It WAS a replace user error after all...
