[Vxl-maintainers] RE: [Vxl-users] VXL Compiler Survey

[Wheeler, F. W \(G. Research\) <wh...@cr...>]

I use VXL with ...

  Windows 2000 / Cygwin / gcc-3.4.4
  Windows 2000 / MSVC 6.0 SP5

I am willing to upgrade from MSVC 6.0 if it means even a slight benefit =
for VXL.  I continue to use 6.0 simply because it is what I happen to =
have and it is not causing me any problems.  It would be no problem to =
upgrade.

I also run a variety of OS/compiler combinations for the dashboard, but =
we can drop/upgrade any of those.

At GE GRC most people who use VXL use Windows 2000 with an MSVC compiler =
> 6.0 (I doubt there are many using 6.0 other than me).  I expect many =
of them will reply here separately.
