- hdjjhhvvhga 5y agoWell, I've recently discovered the installation disks for Turbo C++ for Windows. And I remembered I still have Symantec C++ somewhere - and a vague memory they had quite nice MFC examples you could learn from. Unfortunately, I had to stop tinkering with them shortly after I started because I had to prepare for university exams and so on, and in the meantime other more successful tools appeared and I never had a chance to go back. But a fond memory has remained, so now that the second lockdown is approaching and I'll have more time, I plan to write a couple of Win32 (well, actually Win16) apps I had in mind back then. And if I feel particularly adventurous, maybe even port them to Windows 11 (I feel I might be able to pull it off with Symantec and MFC; I think Borland depended on their own library but I may be mistaken). In the light of crazy stuff people do in their spare time and post here, I'd call this a very reasonable and mainstream exercise.
