ah I see so it's something already made. Most of the time compile settings can be tricky (C++ being really bad for this...). Just having VS6 or VS.net 2002 or 2003 (maybe 2005 but I think it's a little early for it yet

) May not be the only thing needed to compile some c++ apps. That's half the battle when trying to expand something though. The other half is finding out what the app is doing.
