Please see <http://support.microsoft.com/lifecycle/?p1=3003>. Visual C 6 is
dead and has been officially dead since 9/30/2005. What sense would it make
to dump any resources into rewriting code for a known to be defective
compiler that has been unsupported by its manufacturer for two years? Get
Visual C 7.1 or later and be done with it.
