I do have MSVC++ 6.0.  If that will do the job, I'll go that way.  I 
put MinGW on my computer and realized it has been about 20 years 
since I worked in a command line development environment.  No big 
deal I suppose.  I still have my old Borland C book.

I suspect the gimp-vs site is about defunct.  All the forums were 
full of porn spam.  No moderator...
