When I was messing with OpenDoors recently, I did get it to compile, and I was
using MS Visual C++ (2008, full version).  One thing that the newer versions of
Visual C++ tend to do is give a bunch of warnings about what it considers
insecure C/C++ functions, but even with those warnings, the code should still
compile.  I suppose Microsoft has a point in that those functions *could* be a
security risk, but I think the main reason they put those warnings in there is
because they want you to use Microsoft's own proprietary (albeit probably
legitimately) more secure functions so that your code will be tied to the
Windows platform. :)

Some of those security warnings are kinda silly though.  Technically, scanf()
could be considered insecure, but you just need to be careful about how you use
it.
