Migration from Allegris to MFC?

[Sparhawk]

Hi,

we got a large application (>500.000 LOC) developed based on the
allegris (formerly C++/Views) class library. Since this library hasn't
been supported for years now, we want to substitute it.

We are not decided yet if we substitute it with MFC or .NET.
Did somebody do this before? Are there known pitfalls? Best practices?

We are also thinking about not substituting all of Allegris but just
the GUI part since this becomes increasingly ugly.

We'll probably move to MFC because the code already compiles with
MSVC6.

Any hints/ideas/thoughts?

Regards,
Kay Eckernkamp

C++/Views ...

Dear Victor,

I don't know if you still have any of the C++/Views code around ... I am trying to maintain a clients program that uses C++/Views 2.0.

The trouble is in pathstr.cpp, the code for

EXPORT32 boolean VPathString::dolist

never was developed with that release.

I am trying to see if anyone with a later version, say 3.0, might have this routine fleshed out.
