We were hoping to skip this step in going directly to VisualC++ 6. However, considering the number of bugs found so far in VC++, it is may be wise to install this patch and wait a few months before going to version 6. It would be a real nightmare if compilers on other platforms were featuring the same number of bugs!! Fortunately, this is not the case. Rene Brun
