Agreed wholeheartedly
Shoot, if one of the api's used by the ancient compiler "goes away" at some point, movement would be required in any case.

Yeah, me too. I could still write assembly code as far as the 8086, but
after that it got out of hand.

But re the point of this thread: doesn't seem right to keep using an
8-yr-old compiler just for the benefit of those few who are running
machines of the y2k vintage. A lot has changed in C++ class libraries,
linkers etc. since 2005.
