   intptr_t was introduced with the C99 standard which MSVC6 didn't support.   
      
   And at some point since MSVC6 was released, Microsoft changed the return value   
   of _findfirst() from long to intptr_t.   
      
   At the start of gdirposx.cpp you could add something like:   
      
   #if _MSC_VER <= 1200   
   typedef long intptr_t;   
   #endif   
      
   Where 1200 is the internal version number for the C/C++ compiler provided with   
   MSVC6.
