Thanks for all your help Jason. It's these sorts of offers for help that I've always loved about the DEC user community. 8-)
I'm using VS 2008 Express, so let's stick with that, and I'm running Windows 7 64-bit on an Intel Core Duo CPU PC. Of all the SIMH emulated hardware, I only need the MicroVAX 3900 with Ethernet support. I've always had a special place for the MicroVAX range since I first started working with a MicroVAX 2000 back in 1988 (even if I wasn't keen loading MicroVMS 4.5B onto it from a stack of nearly 80 5.25" floppies !!!).

As far as I remember the express stuff is 32bit only. The platform SDK's come with all kinds of stuff, including cross compilers, I think they are free...? Like this one for 2003... http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyId=A55B6B43-E24F-4EA3-A93E-40C0EC4F68E5&displaylang=en While this one is for 2008 / .net 4.0 http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyID=6B6C21D2-2006-4AFA-9702-529FA782D63B I don't have any MS Makefiles (nmake is.. weird.) but looking at the makefile you can usually figure out what you want along the lines of ... cl -DVM_VAX -DVAX_780 -I VAX -I PDP11 -I. -Ox -c scp.c cl -DVM_VAX -DVAX_780 -I VAX -I PDP11 -I. -Ox -c sim_console.c cl -DVM_VAX -DVAX_780 -I VAX -I PDP11 -I. -Ox -c sim_ether.c .... etc... Microsoft started on the 64bit train some time back in 2001 on the Dec Alpha of all things... Then when Compaq bought Dec, it saw the Alpha as a threat to it's high end Pentium stuff and killed the Alpha NT port.. But it was developed internal, lots of SDK's have the Alpha64/DEC64 tags in them so clearly it is where is started.. And of course the long road to the Itanium, then finally the x86_64. I've recently acquired an Itanium, and it's not as bad as I'd thought, but the compilers are far less forgiving then the x86_64 stuff. What platform do you need? I'm sure I can cook up a nmake package file for you.
