Description:
I used VC++ 6.0 to compile the source, and it worked just fine.  But when I selected "mysqld - Win32 Debug" for Set Active Configuration, I got the following error message for compile (Press F7).

--------------------Configuration: strings - Win32 Debug--------------------
Performing Custom Build Step on .\Strxmov.asm
'ml' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
Error executing c:\winnt\system32\cmd.exe.

mysqld.exe - 1 error(s), 0 warning(s)

How to repeat:
1.  Download and unpack the source to a directory.
2.  Start the VC++ 6.0 compiler.
3.  In the File menu, select Open Workspace.
4.  Open the 'mysql.dsw' workspace.
5.  From the Build menu, select the Set Active Configuration menu.
6.  Select "mysqld - Win32 Debug" and click OK.
7.  Press F7.

Please use the preprocessor package which you can obtain from
Microsoft together with the service package 5.
ml.exe is the assembler compiler.

Thank you.
