* An ongoing debate between andrew clarke and Ben Ritchey rages on ...   
      
    BR>> If I try to build Golded+ (github.com 2018-07-10 Download) with   
    BR>> MSVC6 I get compile error 2 on line 129 of gdirposx.cpp. If I   
    BR>> revert this code back to the last source backup I have for   
    BR>> Golded+ (sf.net CVS) as "long" vice "intptr_t" at

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