Stingray software has a good white paper on the relationship between MVC and Document/View (at least the MFC version). The original link disappeared after Stingray was purchased by RogueWave. The closest approximation that I could find is http://www.roguewave.com/products/whitepapers/mvcwp_wl.cfm. (Use caution, it has locked up my browser every time so far.)

''Note that the URI referenced above is a redirecting page that brings up a PDF file. If you have Adobe Acrobat or its reader installed, the PDF reader will open in your browser window. The PDF is directly accessed at http://www.roguewave.com/products/whitepapers/mvcwp.pdf, so you can right click this link and download to a local file if you prefer.''

''Note: the links above are broken, but the PDF file is archived at http://web.archive.org/web/20050314095039/http://www.roguewave.com/products/whitepapers/mvcwp.pdf.
