Two questions, using VC 6.0 if that matters:

1. Is there any way to use another .dsw in your project? Say that
abc.dsw defines a project with all the dependencies setup correctly,
etc. Now, say that xyz.dsw needs to use the library that abc.dsw
builds. Is there anyway that I can set that up to build within the
IDE without having to redefine everything that abc.dsw has setup in
xyz.dsw? I know you can build the abc.dsw then just link to the .lib,
but I'd like to be able to have abc build when I build xyz.

2. Is there a way to specify that a static libary uses other .libs so
that when I have a dependency on that library it will automatically
include those .libs? Currently if I have abc.lib and it uses def.lib,
I have to add both abc.lib and def.lib to a project that only uses the
abc.lib interfaces. I'd rather specify that abc.lib uses def.lib and
when I build something that uses abc.lib it knows to also use def.lib.

Hope that makes sense. Thanks,

Josh
