Yep, I was the one looking for that URL, and then at somebody else's request reposted it and also tinyurled it (since it's a very long URL it gives somebody problems). For the Toolkit 2003: http://tinyurl.com/gv8wr Also, for the Net SDK 1.1 (the 2.0 one apparently now is lacking the msvcrt.lib for x86...): http://tinyurl.com/5flob (original Url for the latter kindly supplied by Martin, btw). Martin also suggested using mingw instead, on that same thread.
