What to Do if You're Not Using Microsoft Visual C++ 5.0

The code has been tested with Microsoft Visual C++ 5.0 ONLY. It is designed to be portable, but given the realities of "portable code," it probably doesn't work with all C++ compilers. In particular, Murphy's Law says it won't work with YOUR compiler!

If you try it on some other C++ compiler and it doesn't work, please add another #if/#endif to "cpp-faqs.hpp" and send the revised "cpp-faqs.hpp" to us -- we'll be happy to post the update to the web site. But please don't simply say, "It doesn't work on the XYZZY compiler," since we probably don't have the XYZZY compiler.
