    Could anyone who is having this problem provide some
    details on what errors they have gotten? If anyone found
    a solution, what was it? I have heard some say this stems
    from a formatting difference between unix and win32 files
    and that sending it via FTP in ascii mode will fix it.

    Most of the files are in unix file format (Win/Dos needs
    CR/LF where Unix just uses CR ... much like the Telnet
    display issues). Open the VC++ project files in a unix
    compatible text editor (i.e. textpad) and save them in
    DOS/Windows format. Then you should be able to open the
    project.

    You don't need to go through all the source files, just the
    VC++ project files.

    I had the same problem when I was converting the app to
    Visual Studio.NET and this solved it simply and easily.

    It also looks like if you do a CVS checkout instead of
    downloading the gzip'd archive, you won't have the problem.

    Use UltraEditor or tool (ie. Unix2Dos ) convert win32
    \aime_w32.dsp to DOS (CR+LF) mode is ok.

    *.cpp *.h file needn't convert..
