looks like what i downloaded was a symantec-specific port nothing but .prj files...  except the one makefile in mfc5\src looks legit from microsoft but digital mars make 5.00 chokes on it.

any humanly possible way to get it done?

Download the the files
ftp://ftp.digitalmars.com/Digital_Mars_C++/MS/CVS/HEAD/ATL2.02.tar.gz
ftp://ftp.digitalmars.com/Digital_Mars_C++/MS/CVS/HEAD/MFC4.21.tar.gz

Extract the files in the same directory. In the <whatever>/mfc/src/sc directory you will find *.mak files to be used with smake for several mfc libs.

The most common lib is in the archive already. (nafxcw.lib)

Good luck

thanks boss will do.  think my version of gzip is out of date i downloaded one
of those tar files the other day but it extracted to one large mother file...
about 12 megs.  i'll get pk250 and try that instead.

MAN those tar.gz archives are a drag, harder to crack than a walnut.  pkunzip250 doesn't like them, gzip 1.2.4 makes one large file outta each... thanks for the help but looks like it just won't work?  the ZIP looks good, if i had a way to turn the PRJ files into MAK that might be an idea...

if ya can really add mfc to dmc++ i might just as well buy the cd and avoid any
further headaches.

Try renaming the files to *.tgz instead of *.tar.gz

WinZip is able to extract those files at once http://www.winzip.com
Or on unix tar -xzf <file.tgz>

The big file you from gzip is probably a tar archive, you still need to untar it (tar -xf <bigfile>).

dude you just became my new best friend thanks!  halfway there to recompiling my last project already.  little trouble with the project mak exported from msvc, figured out the -32 on rcc command line but sc keeps looking for win16\windows.h


i used the cl to convert everything i could and i'm gonna stay on it!!

thanks again
