Visual C++ 5 produces slightly faster code than gcc, I presume that’s
true of Visual C++ 6. The difference is usually minimal though, so
you’re fine using either for most cases. Visual C++ will let you get
away with terrible code though, so if you use it be warned you may have
a hard time getting your code working on other problems.

Thanks sam, porting is exactly the problem I’m having now, and it’s showing
all the crap stuff I’ve done in Visual C++. Sigh._________________________________________________________________________
