Hello,

I've been asked to ask all you good folks about the pros and cons of
C++ with relation to Delphi 2.0.
We're about to undertake a fairly heafy database project and we seem
to be down to 3 possibles, Access 7.0, Delphi 2.0 Client/Server and
C++. What I would like to know it your views on C++ against Dephi (the
Access 7 route has been checked out and I think it'll be rejected).

For instance, ease of use, features, speed, database accessing.
I have conflicting opinions from people in the C++ camp and
vice-versa, now I think the best people to ask are your good selves.

Is C++ easier to develop in?

Has Delphi as many widgets available for Win95 as does C++?

Is Delphi True OO, as is C++?

In real terms, where does Delphi sit, with reference to overall
program speed? Basing this on C++, Access & VB 4.0.

What about Class Libraries, can we use C++ libraries in Delphi?

Your help will be much appreciated...
