Re: [Opentnl-general] Problems compiling the zap project with VC6

[Ben G. <be...@ga...>]

Markus,

We recently ran across the operator error, and I believe a fix is in 
CVS. I'll make sure we update the VC6 project in CVS to build properly. :)

 Most of our developers work in VC7.1 or with the GCC toolchain, so our 
VC6 project isn't touched as often. Sorry about the inconvenience.

Our next source archive should be significantly improved; we've done a 
lot of development in the last few days.

Regards,
Ben Garney
