- OWL is definitely not dead--Borland has announced OWL 5.0, which
- has all kinds of nifty new features
- (see http://www.borland.com/product/lang/owl.html ).
-
- BC++ 5.0 will support compiling MFC because it is a feature a
- large group our customers wanted. There are plenty of our
- customers that want us to continue to support OWL, so I don't
- think it will be going away any time soon.
