RE: Problem with build using Visual Studio 6.0 (ITS#776)

[Gary.Williams@sas.com]

It's true that the workspace and project files are created in
VC 5.0, but 6.0 will just convert them.  I know someone else
had an odd problem with the files that was ultimately corrected
by getting a new copy of Winzip.  The problem seemed to be that
the carriage control in the project and workspace files were
Unix-style instead of DOS-style.
