The bug list for C 6.00 is so long that it just isn't worth reading.
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.
