VC++ 6.0 is really old. We're only partly supporting this for
compatibility. If you can, you should use VC++ 2008 or later.

This link is from FLTK 1.0 and must not be used for FLTK 1.3.
The corresponding link for FLTK 1.3 is currently
<http://www.fltk.org/doc-1.3/basics.html>, but this is not
up-to-date and will probably be moved when FLTK 1.3.0 is
released.

If you need the newest docs, please download the latest
RC (currently RC3) from:

<http://www.fltk.org/software.php?VERSION=1.3.0rc3>
or a later version from <http://www.fltk.org/software.php>.

Please do NOT add wsock32.lib to the linker settings. FLTK 1.3 uses
winsock2 (ws2_32.lib), but you don't need to add it, unless you use
it yourself.
