I was wondering if anyone had information on Microsoft C 6.0.  The
company I am working for is still using Microsoft C 5.1 because they
maintain that 6.0 was very buggy and did not work properly.  The thing
is, they are not using any optimizer switches on the 5.1 compiler because
they apparently don't work correctly.

Might there be a 6.1 version of  the compiler, or some sort of patch
release that fixes any/some of the bugs in 6.0?  Is anyone aware of a
published list of known bugs in 5.1, or 6.0?

Please don't respond with a suggestion to use MSC/C++ 7.0, as the
owner of the company is not willing to switch to a compiler which supports
C++ right now.  (Don't ask me why, but that's his feeling).

Any help or information would be greatly appreciated.

I advise you to stick with MSC 5.1. MSC 6.0 had a lot of problems which
caused us to step back to 5.1. I really think C/C++ 7.0 is the best
choice, and it is still a full ANSI C compiler, but that's not an option
for you.
