================== The original message was: Does anyone know of a framework library (commercial, share- or freeware) like MFC ... that's written to be used with straight C ? D-Flat is written in C. It's a text based GUI though. Some of the Unix GUI libraries/frameworks were written in C and are being ported to Windows. You can check the list of GUI libraries in the Mingw FAQ accessible from http://www.mingw.org and also check http://members.aol.com/lauram3017/uilibs.html for lists of available GUI frameworks. Many are in C++ but some have been written in C.

I've been looking into ODBC recently myself and would love to see an article using the Win32 API for ODBC. If anyone's interested in a library similar to JDBC for accessing ODBC databases, there's libodbc++ at http://www.orcane.net/freeodbc++/ Would also be interested to know if anyone has run across a library for connecting to Access without going through ODBC. I've seen one for xbase (Dbase III/Clipper) at http://www.startech.keller.tx.us/xbase/xbase.html

Wondering if anyone's run across any links to online magazines or newsletters for C or C++. Just noticed a newsletter for C++Builder at Borland's web site. Wanted to locate other newsletters, especially those with more C or C++ content and less compiler specific content. If anyone's run across any others, please post the URLs here. Thank you.

Just found out the Xbase web site is back up at http://www.startech.keller.tx.us/xbase/xbase.html and future updates are being planned.
