    I can't even get it to compile for 2000/XP32 atm (which could be 
down it being the pre-release version of .NET 2005).  Right now it's 
falling over on a redefinition of vsnprintf() - though looking at the 
source it's only intended to be compiled on some UNIX varieties - I just 
changed the #if definition to skip it if AFS_NT40_ENV is defined (sorry 
I'm writing this at the same time as poking the source about).

    Some of the swithces have changed on .NET 2005 is about all I've 
noticed so far (/GX is /EGsc for example) and a lot of warnings about 
depreceated functions, but I'm guessing those have been there for a 
while.  I had to comment over a few of -WX switches as well to stop it 
dying on depreciated functions, mostly sprintf().

    If the compile for 2000/XP32 makes it through OK I shall try again 
with the build enviroment for XP64.

    I take it you you know that nmake /f NTMakefile clean will fall over 
if you run it before you've built anything?  The NTMakefile.version file 
doesn't exist in config/ so it gets a little upset :)
