I’ve read that MFC was a very close copy of MacApp, so not sure how true that is.
Also of course that’s Microsoft of the late nineties: e.g. COM/OLE2 originally had a Macintosh port and an obscure commercial-Unix one, VC++ 4 shipped with a Macintosh cross environment complete with an MFC port, etc. Don’t know if anybody ever seriously used those except the Mac ports of Microsoft software (Office, IE).
