- Borland, had quite a few problems ranging from internal problems to
- competition. They try to maintain a lead in the PC world but there
- is competition everywhere. Nevertheless, their latest beta is
- spectacular. Borland C++ for OS/2 2.x is a programmer's heaven.
- All PM Based, multithreaded compiling, and about everything else.
- Speaking of MTOS, is a a multithreaded os? I know if multitasks to
- a certain extend but does it multithread as well? Thanks...
