Windows 98 SE is a supported target platform for executables compiled with the 2002 and 2003 versions of Visual C++, PSS should be able to help you (for the normal incident fee) to help track down the problem.

I guess now that what you're asking is how to go about downgrading your source code to work with VC6. That's a much harder question. Basically, you'll probably have to just try it and see what doesn't work. If you're using MFC (for example), it's likely that the folks on the MFC newsgroup (for example) could give you specific tips about where incompatibilities might lurk. Likewise for ATL. As far as the compiler proper goes, if you're making use of any advanced template techniques, it's likely that you'll run into significant difficulties with VC6. VC6 does not support partial specialization of class templates, does not support argument dependent lookup, and has many bugs related to template parsing. The C++ standard library with VC6 is also quite deficient, relatively speaking, You can mitigate some of that by purchasing an upgrade library from Dinkumware, or possibly using an alternate standard library such as STLport. Outside templates, you'll find VC6 to be a perfectly capable compiler. -cd Reply to this message...     Ad MBR BootFX Best-of-breed application framework for .NET projects, developed by Matthew Baxter-Reynolds and MBR IT
