-
- Nope. It was of interest only to the subset of C/C++ programmers who
- happen to use a platform supported by Borland products and who might
- be considering buying the new version.
-
- However, neither comp.lang.c nor comp.lang.c++ are dedicated to discussions
- about Borland products (they're for the discussions about the respective
- languages), so your post was utterly inappropriate. It should have been
- directed to comp.os.msdos.programmer (and possibly other groups focused
- on DOS/Windows programming) _only_.
-
- Just consider what would happen if everybody would start posting about
- his good/bad experiences with the latest version of his favourite compiler
- on his favourite platform.
