Really what command line do you use to compile it then?

Hi Jamal. As far as I understand it, MFC itself is a microsoft created
library-cum-wrapper for Win32 programming. As far As I am Concerned, I just
create MFC applications without the use of the readily available App Wizards
with Visual Studio. I just start from scratch from and empty project and
hand code the app myself which i find to be more productive. Cheers!
