- I finished switching a Pascal program to C++ and the experience was less than
- wonderful. With C's low level io functions, and the fact that my pascal
- compiler wasn't optimizing, the program goes about %40 faster, but I imagine if
- I went for Borland Pascal it would be about the same. The file size was 3
- times as large until I repleaced all the IOSTREAM stuff with STDIO things, and
- both of those pale in comparison to a ncie writeln/readln combo. I had stack
- overflow errors occur that never did under Pascal, and the getting CPRINTF to
- work so I could have a little color was a nightmare. Maybe I had all this
- trouble because I am using TC++ 1.1, is the newer version any better at any of
- this stuff?
