Hey I was wondering how I could add a new language support to Visual Studio
.NET 2003?

There is a coding language called JASS (used in warcraft 3 for coding maps)
that I would like to add support for in the IDE. By adding this language into
the IDE, I would have an entirely new project category. The linker and
required compilation tools I have already. The only thing is knowing how to
integrate them into the compile system of VIsual Studio.

In the project installation folder, there is a folder called 'vc7' which
represents the Visual C++ coding language support in the IDE. I need to have
a folder called JASS which represents the JASS coding language support in the
IDE, just like Visual C++. If anyone could give me some pointers or tutorials
on how to do this, I would greatly appreciate it! Thanks!

Do a search for Babel and Microsoft. :)

Babel is a project that extends language support for a "new" language.

Sorry but that doesn't help. I did the search and I found nothing.

Could you give a link?

Also, I did find this site:
http://www.llnl.gov/CASC/components/babel.html

but I don't think it is very useful either. I was looking at the visual
studio SDK, but it is in all JAVA right? It looks so complicated, it
frustrates me!! I read MSDN on the SDK but it sucks!! it doesn't even tell
you how to start a project to be able to use the SDK. I need a tutorial for
it, step by step coding instructions and descriptions of what each of the
interfaces do in the SDK.

Can someone help me out??

Ok, the Babel packaged tutorial comes with the VSIP SDK. You'll have to register
for VSIP access.

Hope this helps a wee bit more than my last reply :P
