    Hi Mario,


    RTFM is short for?

    Hehe, Mario. What a nice way to say it.

    The best way to find out what RTFM means actually is to STFW, i.e. JFGI.

    Yes, apparently MS is confusing everyone with their libraries. I believe there was a single-threaded library once upon a time, but that might not exist now. Irrelevant, nonetheless.
    The docs aren't very clear at what options do what, exactly.
    Or maybe those options are just the two available, debug/release and static/dynamic (plus DLL apparently).

    The single-threaded version is gone, as the page linked also says clearly and explicitly.

    Wasn't there a single-threaded version once upon a time? Like, in previous versions? Prior to 2005 I believe? I think I remember such a thing to exist.

    2003 has it. I don't know if it disappeared in 2005 or 2008.

    Suppose that makes (or made?) me confused. I'm not up with the times

    Yes, everyone, I have checked in Visual Studio 2008, all are multi-threaded version.
