"The end result was (quoting the stats from the magazine):
OWL MFC
Lines of Code 3398 934
EXE size(bytes) 56,848 46,536
The OWL executable also requires 3 DLLs totalling 312,640 bytes. MFC
is a stand-alone EXE.

Yes, but the results would have been similar if it had ben OWL vs.
straight SDK calls Steve, and that's the point. The metric that
matters is: how object-oriented is the app. fw. and is it removed
enough from the toolbox of the platform to get me out of the business
of worrying about allocating DCs and so on. For MFC, the answer is no.
If I want speed and size and that's it, I'll code in assembler.
