Visual C++ 5.0 and Service Pack 1

-Randy Keup

If you are writing code using Visual C/C++ 5.0, you should probably install the service pack for it. I have been running in debug a long time and when I switched to optimized my code stopped working. Well, to make a long story short, there are a number of bugs in the global optimization which are fixed in the service packs. Service pack 3 is what I installed and now my code works again.
