WOW!  Is MicroSoft C 6.0 the buggiest thing ever created or what??
I borrowed a friend's copy to see if I want to buy it myself (I am a Turbo
C person, myself, but want to write stuff for Windows).  Well, I can barely
get out of the gate!  It seems like SETUP named the libraries all wrong.
When I fixed that and finally got the little sample program to run (the
one that asks for the date and then prints it out) it printed a lot of
garbage where the date should have been.  
AND... it's slower than a dog, too!  Turbo C cranks out their sample program,
and functioning perfectly I might add, in about 5 seconds.  It takes about
a minute to rebuild from scratch with the MSC.
What gives here?  I have heard 6.0 was buggy, but is it really THAT buggy??
Thanks for any info.
