Thanjks VZ:

Installing the lastest service pack (SP 6) for Visual Studio 6 did the
trick.  I am now able to compile the "widgets" sample which runs
fine.  :-)

I much prefer to enable the MONOLITHIC option, since it is much easier
to use with my own wx apps that are ported to numerous platforms (Win32,
WinCE, MacOSX, Linux, *BSD, & Solaris) and are all build using a common
gmake (GNU make) file.

Having to deal with numerous wx libraries per platform is just too
combersome.  I hope that the MONOLITHIC option continues to be
supported in future releases.

Thanks again.
Alicia.
