Has anyone actually managed to build and MFC class library based app
under BC++3.1 yet?

I had a go yesterday without much success on the bare minimum Helloapp which
comes with MSC 7.0

To get it to compile I had to add a few lines before including <afxwin.h>:-

	//turn off _seg addressing
#define BASED_CODE

	//rename RTL functions
#define _stricmp stricmp
#define _strupr strupr
#define _strlwr strlwr
#define _strrev strrev

I don't know what the magic switch to interpret ambiguities the same way
as MS is -i guess "use _objectData calling" under optimisations is a likely
candidate.

However compilation ain't enough : I can't link to the library due to bad
object file records in SAFXCW.LIB.
A comparison of object files produced by MSC and BCC seems to indicate that
they are using different name mangling conventions.

I wouldn't be suprised if I'm going to have to recompile the entire 
foundation class library to have a hope of getting a simple MFC app to
work. I also get the sneaking suspicion that from now on sharing .obj files
from MSC to BCC isnt going to be as easy as it was when I was just importing
C functions.
