Critical sections and semaphores and mutexes are all available from the win32 API. I agree with Peter: I am not sure it is a good idea to introduce MFC dependency for process control and application initializations. This would allow compilation without having the MFC (although, Borland supplies a version of the MFC with its non-free compilers). Also, a C++ compiler would not be required although this to me as strictly an aesthetic point. Likewise, I think the API functions are the best choice for file i/o for possible adaption of asynch file i/o. Despite the name, the apps written carefully using the win32 api should generally compile ok in 64 bit environment.
