If your program uses MFC, you can choose the "Use MFC in a static
library" option. In VC6 that's at Project|Settings, "General" tab.

For console apps, you may be very well be able to not use MFC at all.
Most of its utility has to do with gettig around the routine drudgery
associated with GUI applications. Console apps (which are *not* DOS
apps, and cannot run on a DOS machine) are quite easy to write without
it.
