OK Mfc book

I was looking for a book on Visual C++ 6. I have plenty on MFC. This book covers MFC ok (Prosise' "Programming Windows with MFC" is still the best, imho). The first chapter is MS overview (advertising) of Visual Studio. The second states the obvious about the debugger. Chapter 19 covers scripting for the IDE. All the rest is MFC. The index (10 pages as compared to 27 in Prosise) includes very few classes or member functions limiting its usefulness as a reference. The author does have some useful information on Win98 and MFC scattered about, though. I suggest this book as a survey to those new to windows programming with mfc. There is little said about Visual C++ itself.

Excellent source for those new to VC++ Environment

Coming from a unix background, I found there to be many books that cover various Windows programming topics, but few that actually cover the intricasies of the VC++ IDE and debugger. That it also covers many of the VC++ specific programming topics was a huge plus. This book was just what I was looking for.
