yes, you need to link against 'libmsvcr70.a', just adding -lmsvcr70 to
the linker flags schould be also ok.
Just a small hint:
If you have some undefined references, this is mostly because you have
forgotten to link against something. You can solve this by grepping
through your lib directy. For Example you want to find in which file the
btowc function resides:

1. Open a command prompt (Under winnt-systems Start->run->cmd)
2. Change to your lib dirrectory (Its in your Dev-Cpp directory)
3. grep after your string, in our example you have to do 'grep btowc *'
(If you don't have grep you can obtain it from
http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/grep.htm)
Then all files which contains this string are listed.

This method doesn't help all the time, but in most cases you'll find a
~ 	appropriate lib to link against.

HTH
