100 Cursors is a bit over the top - even for VC++ - why not a design review?:)

It reminds me of the good old days - back in `85 - me at the strip mall ComputerLand, and this guy comes in with a Basic program. It managed some fancy relations - but since MS Basic did not have a betreive, this guy used the DOS 2.0 Directory structure to key his data. Each record was a folder. Back in the daze - and "Soft Talk" magazine! That was a great DOS mag!
