If you find somewhere to download this cl compiler, Microsoft and its lawyers would be very interested to know. Visual C++ is Microsoft's C and C++ development tool and they are quite picky about getting paid for it.

See http://www.ActiveState.com/ for instructions how to use it. -- Mac :}) ** I normally forward private questions to the appropriate mail list. ** Ask Smarter: http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html Give a hobbit a fish and he eats fish for a day.
