Strange.  Are you using Jam or rolling your own build procedure?  Using VC++ 
6, SP5 on Win2K and using the Jam system everything compiles with no 
warnings or errors, even in Debug.

Hmmm... I thought Win32 was supposed to support ANSI and UNICODE on all 
Win32 platforms?  The Unicode versions are faster on NT/Win2K and since XP 
replaces the 9x line I figured it would be better to stick with UNICODE 
here.  If there is a problem I can easily change to ANSI versions though.
