I tried with DMD32 D Compiler v2.088.1-dirty, and it compiled and created an exe file, but not run (msvcr100.dll not found - and tried to find it on the net without success).

DMD 2.089 changed the default linking options. I bet an up-to-date DMD will also work if you invoke it as "dmd -m32mscoff". It should also work if you build it in 64-bit mode.

Thanks Nathan. Got it to work using 64-bit. :)
