I am university student who is fluent in structured c and c++.  I plan to
be starting a project soon and would like to use a visual c++ platform.
The end product will likely be run on a 16-bit windows platform, but my
development will be done under windows95.  I am not sure whether microsoft
visual c++ or borland visual c++ is the best platform for me.  The project
I will be working on will have some regular database manipulation as well
as some GUI and generating reports.  I am looking for general ease of use
and well defined documentation, as it will be my first attempt at any sort
of object oriented or visual platform.

    Also, I looked at microsoft's web site and found an academic price
of $109(us) for version 4.0.  What is the academic price for v4.1?
    I looked at borland's web site and could not find any information
on pricing.  What is the academic price of borland visual c++?

Thanks in advance!
