I would go for NT if its an option for you. Win9x seems plagued with
instability problems.

I havent actually played with the MFC a great deal, but my co-imp has.
After a few days of playing around, he trashed everything he had written
and wrote the server using straight winsock and other win32 specific
api's. I know SmaugWiz (A Win32 port of Smaug), was written using MSVC++
5.0, and uses the MFC in several cases. Offhand, I think there is a link
to the source from <URL:<A HREF="http://ftp.game.org/smaug">http://ftp.game.org/smaug</A>> (I may be wrong
though, and I dont have a web browers handy to check, sorry). There is
probably overhead with the MFC. I guess it comes down to how efficent vs
maintainable you want your server to be. :-)
Just on the topic of maintainability, has anyone implemented the
platform-independant server code using a design pattern of the "Bridge"?
(Design Patterns, Gof) I prefer to work on a Unix platform, but my
co-imp likes Win32. The "Bridge" seemes like a nice pattern to solve
this problem, but at what cost of performance?
Cheers,
-Brad
