Every project that use OWL.DLL needs _OWLDLL, and _OWLPCH macro.
Every project that use OWL debug version must define __DEBUG=2, or 1.(VC use _DEBUG, but OWL __DEBUG).
If __DEBUG = 0 PRECONDITION and CHECK are nops
If __DEBUG = 1 PRECONDITION is active
If __DEBUG = 2 PRECONDITION and CHECK are active
If you want use TRACE or/and WARN define __TRACE or/and __WARN.
How to use BC OWL5.01/5.2 and OWL NExt
Default location output import library for OWL Next it $(OWLROOT)\lib, for my computer this is c:\owl\lib.
Default location output DLL for OWL Next it $(OWLROOT)\bin, for my computer this is c:\owl\bin.

You can use OWL 5.01/5.2 or OWL NExt
    BC include patch for using OWL NExt will be:
        c:\owl\include;c:\bc5\include;   ( assuming OWL directory c:\owl, BC directory c:\bc5\include)
    BC library patch for using OWL NExt will be:
        c:\owl\lib;c:\bc5\lib;   ( assuming OWL directory c:\owl, BC directory c:\bc5)
    BC include path for using OWL 5.01/5.2 will be:
        c:\bc5\include;
    BC library path for using OWL 5.01/5.2 will be:
        c:\bc5\lib;
Use OWL Diagnostic macros, It will help for you to find a bug without actually run debugger.
