- In the VC++ 1.51 you use a macro to "EMULATE" templates--shades of
- generic macros!!! VC++ 2.x and 4.0 run on Win95 and/or WinNT and have
- real templates. I just finished installing Win95 on my PC and installed
- VC++ 4.0 and have started exploring/using it...
-
- I bought Symantic C++ 7.0 for Win16 coding so that I had real templates
- (I also have Borland C++ 4.0 but no longer use it).
-
- Hope this helps...
