- I plan on buying one of the two: Borland C++ 5.0 or Microsoft Visual C++ 4.0. I currently use Borland C++ 4.52 but have heard that Microsoft
- C++ is better than Borland 4.52. But what about Microsoft 4.0 vs. Borland 5.0? This seems to me like a very important question for a lot of
- people, especially students, like myself.
-
- IÆd like to ask anyone who has used or knows anything about Borland C++ 5.0 and Microsoft C++ 4.0 to send me email with their comments about
- these two products. The main purpose of this would be to gather information about the products so I (or anyone) can decide which is the
- better product that fills their requirements. I will compile a file that contains all the comments I receive and put it on my home page. The
- URL will be (available soon):
-
- http://www.fastlane.net/~wiersch/borlandvsmicrosoft.html
-
- That way, if you get tired of answering this question, which is bound to be a very popular one, you can direct anyone to this page so they
- can download what people have said about these two products.
-
- I am doing this to benefit myself and anyone else who has the same question. I donÆt know how successful this will be but if I get a single
- reply, I will put it at the above address. Any comments that anyone can make would be very much appreciated.
