For example, replacement windows that do not match the original in size, trim detail, or glass pane pattern, or replacement porch columns and railing balusters that are too thin or too far apart will always look like a later change that doesn’t match the architectural style.

Basically, MFCREATE.C shows that Windows programs don't require a window, a window class, a window procedure, a message loop, or any of the other Windows paraphernalia that makes the API so daunting to a newcomer who just wants to display three lines of output on the screen.

Oriel stands as a further example of how Windows really can be made easier for programmers as well as for users.

Commercial buildings dating from 1890-1930 are distinguished by large windows arranged in groups on their facades.
