- You didn't really explain what they are though... An API (forget what the acronym
- stands for) is any group of entry points for a particular library. MFC is Microsoft
- Foundation Class library, a C++ collection of libraries. They were buggy in the
- earlier releases, I hope 4.0 is better.
- Borland is including MFC support in thier 5.0 stuff?
