POSIX mmap in new release?

visual c libraries:

I heard that (better) compliance with ANSI C standards is one of the
advantages of the upcoming VC++ 8.0 release. I was wondering about POSIX as
well. In particular, whether mmap, and munmap would be supported.
I know it might not be an easy question to answer, but any feeback is
appreciated.

Thanks,

I wouldn't count on it. If you ant POSIX portability, I would check out
cygwin :
http://cygwin.com/

It offers the memory management functions you mention, plus many others:

I would actually suggest the following (free!) Microsoft product:

I knew about cygwin, but didn't realize they supported so much. I'll look
into Windows Services for UNIX as well, although i have no familiarity with
it so far.

Thanks all.
