 I thought I would try to make a few plugin but I am not sure if my old compiler and software will work. I have visual c++ 6.0. I think it is to old for you youngster that are up on all the new language. If it is to old can someone let me know what to look at. I may be old but I can still make widows say Hello Would :p:D

 I don't think you would be missing much. Other than a few things that I found in vc6 (was forced to use it in school because the teachers did not want to deal with with the new ide ). There were updates most likely in updating functions since if you use vc2008 you may get functions that say deprecation but still work anyway like atoi is apparently atoi_s (something like that) and the first is now deprecated although it still works. I think the compiler version also may be too high for the one that comes with vc6 but if you get the 2005 or 2008 versions you should benefit from it. I think ts is compiled under vc2005 also. I don't know all the significant changes just the ones I've ran into myself and they didn't really hinder me much. Also I think the stl might have been updated as well but probably performance wise or a few added things i'm not sure.

An extremely small example being:

for(int i=0; i<n; i++) //vc6 compiler wouldn't let you do this

I haven't really used atl before also so what I said above was in general. luckily for me it reminds a little bit of wxWidgets but it's still going to take me time to learn this.
