Would then not be on MSDN cds from around that

I don't think so. I did spend some effort to locate on of those that I
had some reference to, but it turned out to be nothing. (And I have
checked at least ten MSDN CDs for this material.)
There are paper copies in some west coast US libraries, but I have not
yet gotten desperate enough to try that route.
I don't know if I hung onto the MSC 6.0 manuals, but am looking at what
amounts to a sizeable portion of a bookshelf that deals with 7.0.
That's a lot of paper. Just the "Comprehensive Index and Errors" book
looks to be somewhere around 400-500 pages.
I don't believe that MSC was part of MSDN back then. At least I don't
recall seeing it on my CD collection, although ISTR that there were
services packs for it there.

Related to C in general, I have a very large collection of manuals and
software for multiple styles of C and hardware. I can make these available
at Kennett Classic near Philadelphia if there is sufficient interest, but I
don't have time to scan all of it or break binders. In particular I have
the entire boxed Microsoft suite for 6.0, it's a pretty long box of
software and manuals. Probably cost a lot back then. I
