People use programs such as MFC combined with commercial databases for real application programming. So this is why I proposed some innovative tips for those programming multiuser systems. If expanded, it could provide world wide file sharing with security against malicious hackers with no central server(so its even used for more than games). I hear many people going on about 'off topic', many things have changed since a couple years back when I was developing, apparently this newsgroup's focus is one. Either way, I'm glad altruistic people still answer my problems. What per say is on topic?
