Since I no longer have that VC++ version on this machine, I quickly downloaded (for free) and installed the Express 2008 version.
The result was impressive in that my (6.yr.) old code now actually runs on Express (only "fix" were a few dll patches).
The idea of porting it to Eclipse was motivated by an old wish to re-write (and expand) this code using open source tools that run in various platforms (if not in Java).
We'll see how that goes. ;-)
