[Snortsam-discussion] MS ISA 2006 functionality

Gang,

After loading VS6, I was able to compile both snort + mssql and snortsam 
+ isa2006.
Appears functional and adding IP's to the block computer lists.

Thanks Mark the the nudge in the right direction : ]

Conclusion, VS2008's upgrade process (or just change in functionality) 
breaks the project.
