- Borland growing? Their stock went from around 80 to around 30. I would say
- they are shrinking rather than growing.
-
- I have been using Zortech for 32 bits, but am now porting my code to NT. The
- $69 CD-ROM includes the complete 32-bit Microsoft C/C++ compiler version 8.
-
- The only real complaint I have is that Zortech and Microsoft are so
- incompatible with each other, I have to keep rebooting my computer to
- switch back and forth while porting. Programs compiled with Zortech's
- 32-bit X model apparently won't work with NT, even though they are
- supposed to be Windows compatible. And every time I reboot to NT, I
- have to log in, because I haven't yet found out how to bypass the login
- screen. I would like to somehow automate the process such that I can
- reboot from one O/S to the other in the middle of a makefile and have it
- automatically continue the makefile, but I haven't figured out how to
- get past the login screen.
