Re: Attn Dennis Jones: CVS Windows Build, Visual C++ Project Files

[Dennis Jones]

My apologies, but I am very busy right now, and I am not even sure what you
want me to do at this point.  The link you pointed to regarding a patch:

http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-cvs/2004-04/msg00037.html

...is not available.  If it becomes available, what should I do...attempt to
apply the patch to the VC5 project files and see if it still builds?

I have said that it is okay with me if VC5 support were dropped, as it
appears that VC5 is currently able to build CVS using the VC6 project files.
If, at some later date, VC5 fails to build VC6 project files, I will just
have to live with it the best I can -- especially if I'm the only person who
is still using VC5 to build CVS!
