Yet, another year has passed and I, Michael Pickens, have taken over as the new MFC FAQ guy.

I've reformatted the old 'page' (if opened in MSWord it was a whopping 120 pages long!!) into 200+ pages for a new easier look-and-feel.

Added links, links, and more links for a much improved navigation.

Scoured the newsgroups for new FAQs to add.

• 5.6 - 7/01/98

* Added two new menu items, "Toolbars, Statusbars, etc.." and "Menu's and Message Handling".

* Changed section 2 from "Juicy MFC Information" to "MFC / VC++ Resource Guide."

* Added more than 20 new FAQs!! Search for NEW!! and UPD!! for fast viewing.

* Reformatted "MFC Tips, Tricks, & Caveats" from 30+ independant links to 5 sections.  Much easier to view now.
