No problem; it was quicker getting a build with eVC++ 4 than finding the 
links to eVC++ 3 (esp. after you count the time I spent poking around my 
own machines looking for that archived copy ;)).

I agree that it's confusing, but unfortunately the names of the targets 
have changed in eVC++4 and "ARM" is not a target name it recognizes 
anymore (were it not for this, I probably would have been able to get 
away with just a change to the existing templates), so to get a 
buildable project you have to use ARMV4 (or ARMV4I or ARMV4T).

It looks like the NWO there *is* to align the eVC++ target name with the 
instruction set being emitted, since besides the ARM split, the generic 
"MIPS" target has been split into "MIPS16", "MIPSII" and "MIPSIV" with 
the latter two also having _FP variants.
