I'm a long time linux developer who is trying to port my CommonC++ server program to windows. I secured a machine running Win2k and MSVC6 with service pack 5. I try opening the win32/CCXX.dsw files but it tells me that the CCXX.dsp is a "makefile...not generated by Developer Studio." I have not been able to find a doc that spells out the steps needed to compile and link the library on windows. I don't want to have to setup the cygwin/gnu tools because this isn't my machine. Can somebody give a good list of what is required to compile the library with Microsoft's tools (if it doesn't compile with MSVC6, what version does it compile with?). Thanks.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:

I have been able to load the .dsp project last time I tried, but I will look into this...
