Don,
thanks for great RC2.
When compiling with MS-VC32 and nmake, I get the following build error 
with TDBC:

Stop.

Could Jan/Ashok look into this?

I have git on windows installed. So the git command is executed but 
fails, as this is a fossil checkout. There is no folder ".git".

Thank you and take care,
