I'm writing essentially a command-line program that works with
databases.  I'm trying to get a handle on using VC++ and the database
classes of MFC, but there doesn't seem to be a straight forward
explanation of how to use MFC without all those windowing classes
which I do not need.

Can anyone explain how I can use VC++ and MFC to write non-windowing
(ie. Command-line) apps? 

I've got both VC++ 1.51 and 2.0 but will probably use 2.0.

Any references to literature in this matter would also be appreciated.
All the books I've seen on VC++ and MFC assume that your app will have
a GUI.

Thanks.
