This was a non-trivial task requiring significant modification to the MFC and ATL source, but the entire project will now compile, link and execute with no errors or warnings.


This "non-trivial" task probably involved fixing up a lot of the old #pragma and other directives I alluded to earlier.

I didn't know they distributed the old MFC source - is that part of the free download?

No, I had the MFC6 source from my old copy of Visual Studio 6. If you buy the full edition of VS2008 you will get MFC9, which would very likely require some amount of modification to mushclient in order to work correctly, in addition to costing a lot of money.

I didn't have to make any changes to the #pragma's, apparently they are all upwards-compatible. The majority of changes were related to MS's interpretation of the C++ standard, which hasn't been upwards-compatible. In particular, MSVC now requires the typename keyword when defining template types, and the scope of a variable declared inside of a for() statement is now limited to the statement's execution block. And also a few random compile errors that were never caught by MSVC6. If you ever need to get a hold of these changes I can send you the diffs.
