Hah, hah. Let me put it this way. You can certainly write C++ code
using
the mentioned compiler, but there are more compliant compilers out
there.

I wrote a library a couple of years ago that was not terribly complex,
and
a project that used to use VC++6 wanted to start using the library -
got
hundreds of errors. We switched to VC++2003 (I think 7.1 or 7.2), and
all of our problems were gone.

Yes, I agree that many programs used it prior to 98.
