Hello!

	I am a developer on the Microsoft Foundation Classes (MFC), the C++
application framework for Microsoft Windows.  We're in the 
process of enhancing the libraries for version 2.0 and are interested
in input from "netland" for two reasons:

	1. If you are using MFC would like to get any feedback
regarding the application framework.  Specifically, we are interested
in features you have used, features you have not used (why?), and
suggestions on how to enhance MFC.  If you are not using MFC, then
please only comment if you gave MFC careful consideration, but chose
not to use it.

	2. We would like to hear from any folks developing an
application(s) with MFC that they plan on completing soon.
If you would let us know, that would be great.  We're interested 
in having a look at the size, speed, and robustness characteristics of
real world MFC applications written outside of Microsoft.  We would not 
use your name, your company name, your product name, or anything 
else in any manner whatsoever.  If you contact us, we would be
able to consider you for participation in our limited beta release
program.

If you have significant experience with MFC (for example, having
written a complete application, or at least several thousand lines
of MFC code), we would be very interested in hearing from you.  Since
we are working to insure backward compatability with MFC 1.0, we
would like to put experienced persons on our limited beta release
program.  So, if you feel you qualify, please let us know.

Obviously, we won't be able to respond to each an every request for
features or beta participation, but they will all be given 
equal consideration.  Please try to comment only on MFC, and not 
associated tools.  And of course, we will not make public any 
release dates or feature sets.   So please accept my thanks in advance.


Please let me hear from you,
