There are important differences between the several versions of VC++. The most important discrepancy is the runtime library version. Each version of Visual Studio uses its own msvcrt dll. The command line options, deprecated functions, project file formats and other things are also slightly different. Christian -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
