- ObjectWindows Library is Borland's class library for Windows. OWL
- comes with BC++ *with* Application Frameworks or with the Windows-only
- Turbo C++ for Windows. I highly recommend using OWL or some other
- class library when programming for Windows (the C API is a nightmare).
- I believe BC++ w/ AF is about $200 at an educ. discount and TC++4W is
- <=$100. Ask customer-support@borland.com (no tech support!) for more
- info. Btw, Protogen can probably output code which doesn't use OWL --
- read the docs.

- Sorry I don't use Protogen but maybe someone else will answer. I just
- use OWL and the ResourceWorkshop. I've seen a lot of people post in
- c.o.m.p.t that Protogen was not very useful. If you bought it in lieu
- of OWL, I recommend you return it and get AF.
