[Kelly F. Hickel] (just responded a minute ago to an earlier one). I
think it works fairly well, there are 2 or 3 tests (IIRC) that don't
pass, someone who understands what they are supposed to be doing needs
to look at them. Every now and then someone commits a change that makes
the tests die, but since the popup is annoying, I usually fix those
fairly quickly. These changes are usually incrementing an iterator past
the start/end of a string.
Visual Studio Express is free, BTW....
