I'll answer your questions for Zortech C++.

<1, How much is their C++ deviate from standard C++ (e.g. far, near, pascal
<   keyword) ?

Zortech supports the far, near, pascal and cdecl keywords.

<   2, How do they use "handle" instead of pointer in Windows 3.0 ?

The same as in C, i.e. you need to deal with it explicitly.

<   3, How do they work with other tools (Actor, Case:W, Microsoft C,
<      Zortec C, Microsoft SDK)

It's designed to work with the Microsoft Windows SDK.

<      4, Are they translator or compiler ?

It's a compiler.
