ms visual c++ 5.0 with intro to c++ includes

I know we all hate syntax and would rather be 100% semantics (and beyond), but...

I tried using a few different include files from Steve's Introduction to C++, but it would seem that visual c++ 5.0 doesn't like the idea. Even with the search paths set to the directories with the files, it can't find them and gives, for example, this message in the error window:

Vect1.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "int __cdecl VectorAssertFail(char *,unsigned int,unsigned int)" (?VectorAssertFail@@YAHPADII@Z)

I got curious and booted to linux and used GNU's compiler and ended up getting a link error there, too, but what it was I don't remember. I usually don't have troubles with includes, so I'm kind of stumped.

If anyone has any suggestions, I'd appreciate it.

thanks

Tom
