Oh, you don't rely on XP's Search, do you?! Didn't VC6 have a Find in Files
feature? Or was it added in 7? Don't remember, but the thing I can tell
you is XP's Search is usually so primitive which is not helpful (to me at
least.)

How about using typedef's?

I see your point, but I think it just takes a bit of time before you get
into that habit.

Well, I re-read your original post, and that seems to be the problem on my
part. I must have read your "but I'm open to better suggestions of MFC (not
ATL, sorry) objects to use for a queue)." sentence as something like "but
I'm open to better suggestions of (non-ATL, sorry) queues to hold MFC
objects." And I didn't realize this mis-understanding until right now.
But anyway, MFC does not provide a queue class. The best you can do is
uisng one of its collection classes, and simulate queue behavior by hand, I
think.

Yeah, it's a very useful idiom (don't know if it has a name or not) which
I've used zillions of times.
