On a related note.. Perhaps those of you with Borland connections can
encourage them to get a low-cost ($100 to $150?) Windows development
kit out for Borland Turbo C++. After getting my upgrade to Turbo C++, I
decided not to upgrade to Microsoft C 6.0. This is the environment I would
prefer to do my Windows programming in if I could! I think that if Borland
came out with a Windows Dev kit, then it might force Microsoft to
reconsider their SDK pricing strategy...todd
