Re: Visual C++ 5 or 6 ?

[Sam Nova <samnova@datacomm.ch>]

I agree with this. Version 6.0 is very nice. But it migth be a good idea to 
get service pack 3 (can be downloaded from Microsoft's web, 117 Mbytes..).

One NICE thing with 6.0 is that it is possible to change the code while 
debugging, and then just continue debugging without having to do a compile. 
Okay, this does NOT work all the time..

And one thing that Im not sure about, the upgrades for newer versions (7.0) 
might be cheaper if you have 6.0
