Yes, it includes ATL, but it was a very early version of ATL, and does
not include <atlcomcli.h>.

As does almost everyone.  Do you have any notion of how old VC6.0 is? 
You are talking about a tool that was first released almost a decade
ago!  Things were very, very different in 1998.  C++ had not yet become
an ISO standard, and because of that, the compiler implements a language
which is not really C++.  It is close, but there are many things in the
template support that changed after VC6 was released.

It is very difficult for me to imagine any company developing commercial
software with a compiler that is 9 years old.
