I just purchased Microsoft C 6.00 (tag on the box is labeled C6.00) and am planning on doing some Windows 3.0 development. Is there a bug list or anything that I should know before pursuing any projects? Brian

Look at the message that appears when you run the compiler. Look to see whether you have 6.00 or 6.00a . If you have 6.00, then run to a telephone and call Microsoft. They will send you the "a" version. With 6.00, i had a fatal compiler error or bad code generated approx every 2000 lines of code! 6.00a, on the other hand, works very well for me. I've ported over 100,000 lines of code to MS C 6.00a with no problems worth mentioning.
