It's possible to use CString in non-mfc programs.
You all need to include atlstr.h in your source file. It will work
fine.
#include <atlstr.h>

My previous answer was based on Visual C++ 7.1 onwards.

In Visual C++ 6.0

You have to
* Include 'afx.h' in one of your main headers
* Open the menu 'Project -> Settings'. On the 'General' register
of the settings dialog box choose 'Use MFC in a Shared DLL' or 'Use
MFC in a Static Library' from the drop down box called 'Microsoft
Foundation Classes'.

now you can use CString in your application. But it's adviced to use
std::string or std::wstring instead of CString in Pure C++
applications. else your code will not be portable.
