Technically, Visual Studio 6 does not support real C++ - it's lacking
in alot of thing, namely in the template area.

Too many template arguments... self explainatory.  VS6 can't handle
all the template args.

I'd suggest using a compiler that has a hope of compiling standard c++.

If you don't want to pay for VS.NET, there's always mingw and devc++
(among alot of others)
