- The resource workshop is now 'integrated' into the 5.0 IDE.
- Try looking under File | New -> Resource Project
- or double clicking on an existing resource node in a
- project.
-
- The 5.0 is not without some problems, but hopefully Borland is moving
- fast to eliminate them. 5.0 seems a superior environment (albeit
- slower and more demanding of system resources ) so if you have the
- computing horsepower just stick with 5.0
-
- As far as I can see there is nothing you can do with 4.52 that cannot
- be done with 5.0 (except for using the 4.X add-on : power pack for
- DOS). However, the reverse is not true!
-
- Hope this helps,
