- Yes to both.

- MSVC++4.0 is the latest/greatest but is strictly a 32-bit system. It runs
- only on WinNT and Win95 platforms and produces only 32-bit
- executables.
-
- Included with MSVC4.0 is furnished a companion CD that has
- MSVC++ 1.52. This is a discontinued (sort of) 16-bit compiler system
- that lacks many modern language features. MS throws it in for
- good measure (I guess that they would not get much for it in today's
- marketplace).
