i found the problem. it looks like VC6 does not know std::iterator::difference_type would it be possible changing the design to make it working, please?

I don't have Visual C++ 6.0, so I am afraid I can't fix it. However, if the only problem is the lack of std::iterator::difference_type, I guess you can work around it simply by using int instead of it.

Define a preprocessor macro, say utf8_difference_type, and define it as int if _MSC_VER < 1300 and std::iterator::difference_type otherwise. Then just replace every occurence of std::iterator::difference_type with utf8_difference_type in the code.

Hope it helps.

Thanks alot! It worked just perfectly :-)
I've attached the edited file - maybe you want to include it (although its just a hack for VC6)

Glad to see it worked :)

However, I don't think I am ready to "officially" support VC++ 6.0; as I said, I don't have the compiler.
