Need of old manuals

[carmasou]

I lost my copy of the Microsoft Developer Studio Environment User's Guide (1998 version).
Does anybody know how can I get a copy? Thanks.

Is that paper or CD?

The Manual is no longer on line. I lost my hard copy. I wonder if there is still some place where I can download it. Thanks.

I found only this "DIGITAL Visual Fortran Programmer's Guide" from 1997:

The "User's Guide" is probably no more available.
But why do you want to use the compiler from previous century?

Some of us are stuck with legacy projects that only work on legacy tools. Management are normally too nervous to let us rebuild it on the latest hippy tools.

Thank you mikrom. I am an old guy that loves the previous century more than the current one.

Thank you xwb. You got the idea. I am rebuilding my own programs written in a DOS environment 20 years ago using Microsoft Fortran 5.0

Carmasou,
But it would be perhaps better idea, if you try to rebuild your old DOS programs for windows command line using a current supported compiler.
I have installed these free GNU compilers on Windows XP and Vista and I use them with unix like MSYS command shell:
g77:

g95:

gfortran:

Or other free compilers available are listed here:

I may have MS Fortran 5.0 (assume it is about 1988 vintage or thereabouts). Do you have anywhere in cyberspace where I can send them. Remember to disguise the mail addresses.
