Show me some votes from people that seriously want it and I might complete the port.

Thanks!

But as for me and my household, we shall use Mozilla...

I'm not in need, but am just testing the compatibility for MFCSTL with DMC++, and there're a couple of features that it doesn't support, that's all. ;)

That would be nice to have, no doubt about it, though I don't REAllY need it since I have MS VS :)

One option is to get the MS SDK downloads (free from MSDN web site) and use the source code to patch what you need.  I have run into MFC 4.2 vs 6.0 problems (related to CString::Replace or CPictureHolder for example (see my previous posts)) but I was able to add the functionality I needed with the source from MS.  Add a few compiler directives and you can compile in either DM or MS.

Really... For me it is not such much a matter *how* but *when*

I have converted MFC 4.21 to Symantec C++ and later Digital Mars C++. Have done the same with libraries from Dundas, Codejock, Rogue Wave, etc... The conversion itself is not a problem it is just that I just do not have the time anymore, especially since we decided to go with wxWidgets in the future and not with MFC...

No doubt that wxWidgets is a powerfull GUI toolkit, but whatever we like it or not MFC still remains a major player. It would be nice to have MFC v6.0/v7.0 available in DM.

I vote for the upgrade --  There are lots of functions in 6 that aren't
supported in 4.x that make life easier for programming  (and are used
regularly in many canned code projects) --
and thanks for your making DMC work!

Yes -- DMCnot having MFC 6 is why i gavd up on DMC -- give me 6!!

Actually I already have MFC 6 with my VC++6, will it work with the DM compiler?

Most likely not without the necessary patching...
