- Anything below 2.0 is 16 bit and will work with Windows 3.x. Anything
- 2.0 & above is for Windows 95 & NT only. If you are planning on
- writing applications for Windows or NT, I'd go with C++, strictly for
- the MFC library (Microsoft Foundation Class) which is the same source
- that Windows 95 & NT were written in.
-
- If you're just wanting to write C++ code on a Unix box, I'd get
- something else.
-
- Good Luck
