Another hitch (is this going off topic?) is that it is harder to write
(maybe just for me) code compatible with 95,98 AND NT unless I stick
with strict WIN32 calls and leave out MFC entirely. I have been sticking
with Tcl/Tk 8.x to maintain GUI compatibility across Win32, *nix and using
sockets for comm between the Win32 C++ object code and the GUI.
