    Well, since everyone was sharing past memories, I thought I'd do the same. ;P

          I've been asked to train two fresh graduates on MFC. We've covered the very basics: dialog based applications, the basic controls and they have created a loan calculator. Any suggestions for the next steps to take? Most of the applications here are dialog bases so SDI and MDI isn't too important.

              At one firm I worked for there was a weight limit of 5KG for anything you could pick up the floor, the Microsoft manuals that came with the compiler, before Visual C++ 1.0 I think weighed it as c. 12Kg. which posed an interesting problem!

                I've still got the Scribble tutorial book, but can't recall where I got it. It may have come with VS5, the first version of VS I bought, or possibly with VC++4. As a C++ training resource it's useless, but as an introduction to programming techniques I've never had any use for, it can't be beat! "Your village called -

                    Oh...I remember those DOS days, when I have to install Office which came on 25 floppies and the joy of installing apps through my first 2x cd drive :-) Those days (hardly 10 years), anything related to computers were insanely expensive here, I remember having to spend a fortune for upgrading my 386 to 8MB.
