I do have MSVC++ 6.0. If that will do the job, I'll go that way. I
put MinGW on my computer and realized it has been about 20 years
since I worked in a command line development environment. No big
deal I suppose. I still have my old Borland C book.
I suspect the gimp-vs site is about defunct. All the forums were
full of porn spam. No moderator...
