John,
I don't know how specific it is to VC6, but VC6 is one of the most common
compilers for the Windows platform, so we should get it to compile without
all the warnings. I modified the code such that I get no warnings and have
attached a zip file with the 4 files I had to change. Can you try dropping
them into your Unix environment and see if the changes cause any problems?
Thanks,
Jeff

Jeff,
Messages to the list are coming through just fine.
I'm wondering just how specific these warnings are to VC6. Nobody has
mentioned them before. That is especially true of the pragma.
