MS is currently at version 8 and interest in version 6 is diminishing 
at this point. The issue you have identified below illustrates the 
lack of compliance with standards with version 6. Nevertheless, I 
committed a patch to cvs.

I found one thing that Visual C 6 does not like in dbMapper.cc:

for ( int i=0; i < db->no_str; i++ ) {
         enumStringTable.getString ( i,
             &(db->strs[i][0]), MAX_ENUM_STRING_SIZE );
         }
         for ( int i = db->no_str; i < MAX_ENUM_STATES; i++ ) {
                 db->strs[i][0] = '\0';
     }

It complains that the two "int i" statements are a multiple 
declaration I believe. Changing the second i to a j removes the error.

I'm curious whether anyone else has tried to build w/ Visual C 6 and 
encountered this problem, or if there is something unique about my 
environment???
