creating a DLL throws "Unknown Error" with Beta 3

Only C-Backend...

After deleting my old "PB" Installation and clean installing PB 6.11 Beta 3, it worked.

Console App 6.10: 581KB
Console App 6.11B3: 588KB

DLL 6.10: 1.007KB
DLL 6.11B3: 1.007KB

Hmm... size difference is minimal here (around 500 KB-2MB). In any case though it's at least always smaller.
Thanks for the 24 and 32-bit WAV support too!

[Psychophanta]

Mhhh! That looks very good, let's see

[mk-soft]

Short WinAPP:

v611 : 1319 kB

Excellent, New linker works fine here too.
Compiling seems quicker.

[Fred]

Thanks for the feedback ! I also saw such improvement here

The size of the compiled .exes are now so close to the (additionally installed) vc compiler, I guess we can call the vc one deprecated?
