[Bf-committers] re: no more <iostream.h> support in MSVC 7.1

[Ton Roosendaal]

Hi,

A few months ago we had a 'maintainer' for the MSVC 7 files  
(JesterKing). He's disappeared out of sight a bit... so it might be  
time to find someone else to be responsible for it.

The link you've provided is a much too long read for a non-windows  
developer... with some searching through the text i could only find  
that MS drops iostream.h, but not the usage of dot.h in general?

Anyhoo, this can be patched in our code, with some #ifdef VISUAL_C_7 or  
so... but I rather leave that to the more experienced windows coders  
here to decide on. But most likely, we'll consider MSVC 7 an exception,  
not the default. :)
