Migrating VC6.0 -> Visual Studion 2008 - depricated functions

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Hi,

I have been working with VC6.0 for a long time.
Now I have access to Visual Studio 2008 (not at
home), so I tried to compile an old VC6.0 project
with the new IDE.

It worked fine and did not require many changes
in the code. However there were some warnings
that I use depricated functions like fopen,
sprintf, _tcsncpy an I better should use their
save equivalents fopen_s, sprintf_s, _tcsncpy_s.

No problem, the code compiles with those "_s"
functions. Reading the MSDN documentation I find
that fopen_s is availible from Win95 on.

I would like to maintain the project for both
VC6.0 and Visual Studio 2008. But in VC6.0 I cannot
find any header/lib for fopen_s. Not in the
headers which ship with VC6.0SP6 nor in the
February 2003 SDK.

Am I missing something or is it simply not
possible to use functions like fopen_s in VC6.0?
.
