- Yeah right. If you read the Borland C++ 5.0 dox, you can find out all of
- the things in their compiler they had to *break* to make it compile MFC,
- even after a patch is aplied to the MFC source. That's right, MFC *relies*
- on non-standard, illegal code. Borland C++ 5.0 has a special "MFC mode"
- that allows it to accept the MFC source, instead of producing (correct)
- error messages.
