- I would rather talk about a "de facto" standard. The actual standard
- (from ANSI) is about to be the STL, not the MFC or the OWL. BTW, the STL
- has been developed with Borland C++.

- I have been using Borland C and then C++ for 9 years, and I'm pretty

- C++, so I decided to learn Visual C++ to be "competitive" on the job
- market; but about the class library, I'm more likely to stick with the
- STL.
