ok, i just learned something. to be a programmer, i am going to have to learn new code every year or so, that sucks.i am learning code out of a book that was written for msvc++5, but im using msvc++6, when i write the code straight out of the book, it will not compile for nothing, but i can take the source code that come on a cd with the book, open a workspace from the cd, and it tells me that it was written in old formate, do i wont to convert it. i click yes and when compiled runs fine.so basicaly i wasted my money even getting this book.so what i want to know is, what are the main differances in the two versions,(msvc++5 and msvc++6) and can i still use the book, with a little formatting of code? sometimes it asks me if i want to use old style formate?how can i do that?
thanks,
scott
