Hi...

My name is Mohammed Iqbal. I am a new comer to this list. I wish you accept
me as a new member. Although I am professional in C++, I am not a
programmer.

I also use MSVC 6.0. This compiler has many bugs dealing with templates. You
need to install SP4. May this solve your problem. Can you send the code
fragment that you wrote? I will try to work with it.
