Well, I guess this answer is: it depends. If you're already supporting MSVC 6.0, then probably the work needed to extend it to MSVC 7.0 is reasonably low. [...]
Well, I'd like to drop support for 6.x as well. ;) Then it seems to me that there is little reason to support 7.0.
Especially since the command line version of MSVC 7.1 is now available as a free legal download.
I don't mean to make an argument in favor of supporting vc6 (I am agnostic on that point), but I should point out that the free availability of vc7.1 makes *no* difference for those people whose organizations don't permit them to upgrade. That said, there are fewer and fewer of those as time goes on. -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting http://www.boost-consulting.com
