- We all can say, "Praise God for Borland!" I've used them exclusively since
- being a "beginner moron", and their code works. Petzold's examples work
- (once you use "smart callbacks").
-
- I've heard that Microsoft's C++ system is worse than Borland's, but it's
- hard to believe it's as bad as you describe! I know people use the MS system
- to create actual Windows applications, so it's _possible_ to get around its
- shortcomings. Just keep pounding on it until it yields (or buy Borland).
