Will do, to let you know the answer.  But there's no way this is
mission-critical stuff.  At best it'll work for someone's MSVC app
somewhere.  I would never trust a $$$$$ commercial enterprise to this.
 There's no evidence of widespread deployment or testing for MSVC, and
quite a lot of evidence to the contrary.
