1.6.6 What about MFC?

 MFC, we've taken the source for MFC, that comes with Visual C++, and compiled it, after serious massaging of Microsoft specific constructs. With it, we were able to compile and run the sample code using our Libraries.

The sample C++, MFC code runs natively, and can do dynamic linking ala LoadLibrary(), of an Intel DLL, (the meter.dll sample source), the transition from native C++ ported code to Intel 16bit code was completely transparent to the application, it did GetProcAddress, etc. and did a straight call to the address returned, without doing any fancy data conversion. Using the GNU C++ compilers, we have been able to support applications using MFC 4.x.
