Sorry for being thick headed -- I can see where this would be a
problem. I have many different Win32 C/C++ compilers dating back to a
pile of 5.25" floppies from Zortech, so I never considered this. Just
to check I shot over to ebay -- VC 6 goes for more than Studio 2005 (I
was thinking you would be able to pick it up for next to nothing).
