Hi Mathew,

Beforehand congrats on the new book I will be sure to get it, although your first book hasn't completely slinked in. :-)

I was trying to use the CString_cadapter with VC++ 8.0 and I got into some
problems.
The thing is I'm using the ATL classes, and on the afx_allocator.hpp and
mfcstl.hpp files there is the #include <afx.h> that does not go well with an
ATL project. So since CString class has been separated from MFC since 7.0 I
just commented the afx #include and included altstr.h before incluing the
cstring_cadapter file.

Like the subject states this is only an improvement suggestion, when you got the time.

Thanks
Cláudio Albuquerque

Thanks, I think. ;-)

Understood. Sounds like an eminently sensible suggestion. Alas, I am unable to get on to any fun things (i.e. open source work) until August, so it might be a while before you see any action, but I will get to it.

No worries. Thanks for the input.

Looking forward to hearing what you think about the book. :-)

Cheers
