Anybody who wants to work on I do wish I had kept all my old Microsoft C compiler manuals. Microsoft do a very poor job of documenting the extensions they support (which has changed over time). This may be intentional as a way of limiting use of those features (apparently when British rial want to kill off a service they first remove all details of it from the time tables; passenger numbers then drop and they can kill the service off on the basis of low passenger numbers travelling that route). Does anybody here have any old (ie, versions 1-5) Microsoft C compiler manuals? -- Derek M.
