- All of your questions, except possibly one, are better posted to
- a Windows-specific newsgroups such as
- comp.os.ms-windows.programmer. The one that is somewhat
- applicable to this newsgroup is difficult to answer and has
- in the past generated rather heated "my-system-is-better-than-
- yours-because-it-can-piss-farter debates. Borland's C++ 4.53
- is a capable tool, but OCX support?? Isn't that only for 32 bit
- systems? Better ask the Windows newsgroup folks.
