I’ve just found out the VC6 project files in the 0.99d snapshot don’t load properly. This is because although I tested 0.99d on VC6, I built the archive on Sourceforge’s Linux server for speed and the difference in CR/LF format between Linux and Windows screws up Visual Studio 6.
I’m fixing up a new download now, and my archive script from now on converts these characters in the .dsp and .dsw files before tarballing so future releases will be ok. For those who use VC6 and have already downloaded the archive, you can download the patch file which will fix your project files, extract this into the same place you extracted the release. This issue did not affect VC7 because it’s more tolerant of CR/LF formats.
Sorry for the inconvenience!
