For cryng out loud Microsoft has NOT updated KNOWN BUGS in the STL implementation...not even with their (criminal, IMO) SP6 released last year. <opinion...if you don't like my language or "not being complimentary to ALL enteties involved in C++" stop reading now> The ONLY reason MS could have had for that SP6 release was to convince some people that it was still a product, it isn't, hasn't been for 4 years...

This isn't about your language -- it's about accuracy. MS wanted to stop all support for VC6, and they tried hard to. Their customers essentially wouldn't let them. MS would like vc6 to die as much as anyone. -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting www.boost-consulting.com
