I run MSVC 6 only under duress. Its STL implementation is well known to have serious problems for multithreaded applications (See Meyers book on STL). MSVC7 is far superior and a pleasure to use. Catering to MSVC 6 is not only not worth the bother, it couold be considered a bad idea.

Yes, but there has to be some limits. Will Net-SNMP 5.2 compile on a stock Redhat 6.2?

It means Net-SNMP is one of the few programs that don't require you to run the latest Linux distribution to make it compile which is the problem I have all the time with Linux software. It's annoying. I still think it's unreasonable to have to tailor to users of old compilers when the fix is for the user is to download a *FREE* SDK from Microsoft. The SDK is included in the latest MS compilers and is considered a standard kit to have installed for Windows development. It's not like we are telling people to purchase a third party SDK. I would like to hear from Windows developers who run MSVC 6 to know what their thoughts are.
