Usually just including

#define FAR

in a common header file should do the trick. The common header file should be after all your other include files.

where can i find this old vc++ 1.52.

I think if you have an MSDN subscription you can download the old compilers. But stick with the new one. Much better if you can get a newer version than VC6.

Here seems to be a source where you can get that compiler. I don't know if that link is still any good.
