SUMMARY

When an application that is linked to CRTDLL.LIB is compiled without defining _MT and _DLL, the CTYPE.H family of macros will not operate correctly.

To define _MT and _DLL on the CL command line, just add the following to the command line:

-D_MT -D_DLL

By adding these defines, the CTYPE macros will be properly initialized.
