Ken -
You can continue to check your "cranky old man hand-written" code in
and out of SourceSafe without using VisualStudio. We use it at work
to do just that. It's actually kind of a nice tool. We have a plugin
that allows us to update our Linux servers from a Windoze server
running the SS database.
VisualStudio is evil. It was bad enough when it was Visual C++, but
it's way worse now. Push a wizard button and watch megabytes of code
get generated, using templated classes that nobody can understand. I
escaped two years ago and revel in my (comparative) freedom from
MicroSloth.
