My recollection is that MS Visual C 1.0 came with a big box of paper manuals.
MS Visual C 1.5 was the first one where you had to take it on CD-ROM. At the
time (early 1994) MSDN was a serial with approximately quarterly single
CD-ROM issues whose content varied. This was all in the Time Before PDF so
proprietary reading/searching software was involved.

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. Would then not be on MSDN cds from around that
time?
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.)
