To be more explicit, VC++ 6 was the last release before the introduction of .net and SxS, both of which complicated deployment to various MSWindows versions (as well as removing the option of packing debug symbols into the object files, which is also bad move in my book). So applications compiled with VC++ 6 are usually far more portable than applications compiled with later VC++ versions. Graeme Gill.
