Hi Nella

Good design and flexibility is in the eye of the beholder. Abstract factories are only one way to provide flexibility. The real issue is, do you need that much flexibility. There are examples of MaxFrame objects instantiating one of a set of different "cursor" objects at runtime.

How does VMP make its design flexible if it doesn't have an abstract factory? I'm sure it has its own design but I would really appreciate if you could give me information on it.
