There is no such thing as C++ 6.0. This has nothing to do with .NET or
Microsoft for that matter. C++ is not a Microsoft standard. It is an ISO
standard that mutliple vendors implement, Microsoft included. Visual C++
6.0 implemented most of it, including the standard headers I mentioned. So
did Borland C++ Builder, GNU g++ 3.2, etc.

It was part of the 1998 ISO standard C++. I believe MS Visual C++ 6.0
supported it, as did Borland C++ Bulder, gnu g++ 3.2, etc.
