Just to quible- MFC does not need any language
extensions. It *does* need some rudimentary template
support, plus exceptions, so maybe Watcom gets tripped
up there.
But from what I see on the web, Watcom C++ can
compile MFC. I should really hope so- MFC is about
as undemanding as they come. That's one of its good
points, really.

I suspect the calendar grids offer that data-binding
trick OCXs do. That's not database access; another
object has to do the database access, so that the calendar
can display it.
VB includes objects than can do this, but I don't think
they are OCXs.

Why use Perl? Becaues it is so useful and great. For instance, would

would take a couple of pages in C.

Don't you remember the big "multi-media" hype 6 years ago? That was the era
when the two big things were, SoundBlaster and CD-ROM's in PeeCees. I stuck
to good old books, and I was able to cross reference more effectively than
using a glorified, "multi-media" encyclopedia's. Maybe thats why the
standard of literacy in the developed world has been going down hill in the
last two decades.
