I have an application written in C that does a lot of low level stuff.

The options I've considered so far:

2 questions:
1. Can I run Visual Studio C++ 2005 on NT 4.0 SP6a?

I am resurrecting this question (since it got bumped down by more
recent posts).
This is probably very simple - I need to add a version resource to a
DLL project in MSVC++ 2005 Express in order to have version info,

Here's a relatively simple code snippet:
#include <memory>
