This is correct. The Borland DDVTs extension is a non-standard compiler extension currently supported only by BCC. The Microsoft Foundation Classes (available with Microsoft C/C++ 7.0) are compiler independent. Borland has published a memo on how to use MFC with BCC, and several other compiler vendors have announced that they will license MFC for their Windows compilers.
