I have the latest DMC++ and the old symantec 7.51, both with MFC 4.2.  Is there
a way to upgrade to MFC 6.0 without violating any licensing agreement?  I am
trying to create a C++ program with an embedded VBScript control in it and the
sample code used some CString functions that are version 6.0.
Thanks!

Andy

Which member functions are that?

Jan There are two problems compiling the source code...

1.  Replace() member finction for CString is not found.  Mind you this is an
easy work around.
2.  The header #include <afxdtctl.h> (MFC support for Internet Explorer 4 Common
Controls) is not found.

Thanks.

I think that one is included in the .tar.gz file you can download from www.digitalmars.com, you also will have to download the ATL .tar.gz file and recompile the libraries...

That one you probably could port from the latest MFC.

I worked (years ago) on a port for MFC 6.0, but due to not yet implemented language features I could not finish the port. Now the compiler is about up-to-date, I should re-apply my changes to the latest MFC and see what happens... However, don't have the time right now... Searching for some contract work takes preference...

Jan,
Thanks for the advice.  Where can I find the latest MFC?
