There is something on your latest changes that MSVC don't likes:

Array.cc
C:\work\nt-3.0\lib\Array.cc(55) : error C2143: syntax error : missing ';'
before '*'
C:\work\nt-3.0\lib\Array.cc(55) : error C2501: 'Array' : missing
storage-class or type specifiers
C:\work\nt-3.0\lib\Array.cc(55) : error C2501: 'arrayCreate' : missing
storage-class or type specifiers
C:\work\nt-3.0\lib\Array.cc(55) : error C2061: syntax error : identifier
'Array'
C:\work\nt-3.0\lib\Array.cc(55) : error C2143: syntax error : missing ';'
before '}'
C:\work\nt-3.0\lib\Array.cc(55) : error C2143: syntax error : missing ';'
before '}'
C:\work\nt-3.0\lib\Array.cc(55) : error C2143: syntax error : missing ';'
before '}'
C:\work\nt-3.0\lib\Array.cc(55) : error C2143: syntax error : missing ';'
before '}'
.....
C:\work\nt-3.0\lib\Array.cc(55) : error C2143: syntax error : missing ';'
before '}'
C:\work\nt-3.0\lib\Array.cc(55) : error C2143: syntax error : missing ';'
before '}'
C:\work\nt-3.0\lib\Array.cc(55) : fatal error C1003: error count exceeds
100; stopping compilation

and

C:\work\nt-3.0\src\fs\ufs\store_dir_ufs.cc(1069) : error C2664:
'file_write' : cannot convert parameter 7 from 'void (void *)' to 'void
(__cdecl *)(void *)'
         None of the functions with this name in scope match the target type

Robert, do you remember GWBasic compiler ? I'm starting to think that it
can compile C++ sources better than MSVC .....

Guido
