What exactly did I do to you? You *emailed* me your first post on this topic
to make sure I would actually notice a four year old thread. I take the time
to respond with plain facts to your request if someone could bother do the
VC 6 porting work for you, while you go on to complain about lack of
POV-Ray's compiler documentation for MinGW, and then I have a "bad
attitude"? Argh :-(

is this 3.5 source code still around? Do you know where I can download it?

just how many hours would it take to rewrite 3.6 to VC6 code?
40? 400? 4000?
