I have the C++ source code for a program written some 15 years ago, using the then-current developer studio, to run under windows XP. I would like to get it to run on windows 10, but when I tried to build it under dev. studio 2019 there were hunfreds of errors, all the header files had changed. Is there a 'backwards compatibility' version of dev. studio?
