- If you think the Microsoft C has less written information, you are
- dead wrong !! First, you can do everything with the Borland C++ 3.1,
- period. I know this compiler, and acually I miss it a litte. It`s very
- reliable and fast. In fact you can select any Windows compatible C
- compiler. But be prepared : every compiler these days is shipped with
- a lot of documentation, written and hyper-text. You`ll have to dig in
- anyway.

- Good Luck
