Oh dear. I'd break it off then.

Looks very much like it, I'd say.

I have got a question. You are using the free 2003 tools. They come 
without the debugging libraries you say. But you could still generate 
debugging information with the compiler, couldn't you? Then I would 
suggest you continue to use the free tools, add the debug symbols 
compiler switch and compile and link the whole thing. You don't need to 
link with the debugging libraries to be able to debug. All you need is 
debug symbols.

Then you can use the VC 2005 IDE debugger to debug the code you've 
generated with the free tools.
