Microsoft C 6.0 manuals

[Bjoren Davis]

I have a retail boxed set "Microsoft Visual Studio 6.0 Professional 
Edition Upgrade" (P/N 659-00145).

It's stuffed with CDs, some of which I seem to remember were sent to me 
after I mailed in some coupons.

There's not much paper documentation -- a "Microsoft Visual Studio 
Resource Guide", "Getting Started Setup Guide for Visual Studio 6.0", 
"Visual Studio Developing for Windows and the Web", and some class 
library posters.

The documentation appears to be on a 2 CD set "MSDN Library Visual 
Studio 6.0" (P/N X03-73112 or possibly X03-55262).

There is a card "Getting Started with Microsoft Visual Studio 6.0" which 
says: "The MSDN compact discs include a complete documentation set for 
Visual Studio and for each of the core products."
