Microsoft's Visual C++ 2.1 does not support the ANSI/ISO standard RTTI.
Instead, the MFC Library supports the same interesting implementation
of RTTI that it always has.  This implementation works only for classes
that are descended from CObject.

I was told that Visual C++ 2.1 now supports run time type information
(RTTI) but I can find no mention of it in the documentation. Is the
documentation out of date, or is Microsoft still behind in it ANSI
standards?
