Nope. I think one or two people managed to hack it into
sort-of-working, but I pretty consistently got internal compiler
errors and many rejections of valid code; after a while I just ignored
it entirely, and with VS2003 most of the compiler bugs were fixed so I
ignored VC6 even more after that.

Thanks for the input.
