- I know this group isn't for selling, but I noticed a lot of people here
- are either using BC++3.1, or asking about good Windows development tools.
-
- First of all, forget the SDK, it isn't that great. All you need is this
- compiler and a few books you can get at any bookstore. Plus, this
- compiler has all the Windows stuff online anyway with formatted text
- and examples. And the resource editor is way better than anything I've
- seen Microsoft produce.
-
- I posted this twice already to misc.forsale, but here is one more notice
- for anyone who might have missed it.
-
- What am I selling?
- The best (my opinion) compiler for any IBM PC, Borland C++ 3.1 for
- Windows 3.1 and DOS. This is a complete package including C++, an
- object oriented assembler, debugger, and code profiler. No, it does not
- have the application frameworks class libraries, sorry, but it does have
- all the stuff you need to make really slick DOS or Windows programs.
- If you want to know more, read reviews about it, or email me. It
- comes with all 9 manuals (still in wrapping) and 15 high density 5.25"
- diskettes, and all the warranty registration stuff.
-
- NOTE - If you want the application frameworks, there is an offer card
- included to get it from Borland directly for $199 extra.
-
- What am I asking?
- Borland's list prices are as follows:
- BC++3.1 AND Application Frameworks $795
- BC++3.1 (What I'm selling) $495
- BC++3.1 upgrade from 3.0 $99 or $199, I forget which.
- BC++3.1 Application Frameworks Upgrade to BC++3.1 $199
-
- A local discount software store is currently charging $350.
- I would like to get $200, but I will consider any other offers.
-
- Why am I selling this?
- I ordered Borland C++3.1 with my PC a long time ago, and it finally
- arrived a few weeks ago, long after I broke down and bought it in a
- store. It IS the latest version, with all the manuals and registration
- cards and disks unopened. I use this product (my copy) all the time,
- and it is worth every penny and then some. It takes away most of the
- frustration of programming with PCs and Windows. I have an extra
- copy, and was hoping someone out there was about to buy this
- program anyway, and would like to get a deal.
-
- Is there anybody out there looking for a good C++ compiler?
-
- If anyone who previously mailed me is still interested, please mail me
- again, a lot of that mail got deleted.
