- Version 4.52 allows you to create 32-bit apps. I don't think 4.0 did.
- I was using the former before upgrading to 5.0, and found it very
- stable.

- I'm ready to dump 5.0, but have just read Dirk Payne's article in the
- 'Re: BC++ 5.0 IDE woes and Borland indifference' thread. I'll give his
- advice a try before sending it back. Nevertheless, the new compiler
- is SLOW compared to 4.xx, and has extreme memory and processor
- requirements.
