Re: Problems with ns-2.1b6-current's channel.cc

[Haobo Yu <haoboy@ISI.EDU>]

The current snapshot need lots of patches in order to compile on win98 (I
was using vc5.0). Many of the wireless simulations have: 

	new (MobileNode *)[size]; 

which seems not supported by vc. Please change them to 
"new MobileNode*[size]". This happens in channel.cc and gridkeeper.cc. 
Also, makefile.vc is not up-to-date. Its ptypes2tcl entry should be
updated, and 
gridkeeper.o rap/raplist.o rap/rap.o rap/media-app.o rap/utilities.o
should be added. 

Also note that many test suites do NOT pass under windows. I have looked
through a few of them and suspect that all these errors are due to
floating point errors, but need to verify it carefully.
