- The compiler is based on C7 technology, but it isn't the same compiler.
- The C++ compiler comes with the MFC-Library, just like C7. But the
- compiler can only produce 32-bit code and does not run under DOS.
- It only runs under NT. You may try a new Phar-Lap product, that allows
- to run a subset of NT-Character apps. under DOS. Maybe you can run
- the compiler under this product.
-
- In any case, you are not able to produce DOS or any other 16-bit code
- with the compiler.
