Re: binanry comparison mismatch

It is related to the fact that unlike C/C++, VB doesn't perform a 1::1
conversion of VB source code (files) to compiled native code. All source is
first loaded and converted to pcode. More properly called excode at this
stage, and its not just a series of code statements, but caches,
jump-tables, symbol tables, tokens, etc. When a native code compile is
requested this excode is converted (preprocessed) into an odd mix of
tokenized C code (called .obj files but they are not what a C programmer
would call an obj file) that is passed on to the C2.exe compiler.

Even so, you would think the process would highly deterministic, but it
appears not to be. A certain amount of twittering goes on no matter what you
do.

I've never worried at that level of detail so don't know whether it would make any real difference, but the only suggestion I would have as something to try would be to Make from the command line w/ the /Make switch rather than from the IDE.

To OP, to try this, type VB /? at a command prompt for the help.
