Bio:Retired industrial chemist. I am studying Visual C++ as a hobby. Not easy but an intellectual challenge! One day I'll understand it.

Still using VC++ V6.0. I know! I paid an absolute fortune for it several years ago and wouldn't have upgraded my computer from XP if it hadn't become terminally ill. Now on Windows 8.0. It was a big challenge to get VC++ 6.0 working on W8 but the cost of the latest version of VC++ is prohibitive as a hobby. Take note Micro$oft. I expect software I have paid my hard earned cash to work to work in newer versions of your operating systems. Sorry rant over.

Any help you guys can give me will be gratefully received.
