The support of member templates in VC6 is rather basic. In order
to compile the above code you must make the `Add' member to accept
a parameter of type `T'. Otherwise VC6 is unable to deduce correct
type of the member. Example:

class Dep
{
public:

template<class T>
void Add(T* dummy = NULL)
{}
};

int main()
{
Dep dep;
dep.Add<int>();

Should be

dep.Add((int*)0);

VC6 and eVC4 are not able to correctly parse the explicit template arguments
at a function callsite - they'll always indicate a syntax error. Instead,
you have to add a parameter (as Alex said) and pass it at the call site so
that template argument deduction can kick in.

Better still, upgrade (although that might not be possible if you're stuck
with eVC4).
