I am in the process of selecting a C++ compiler/translator for
MS/Windows development project. 

Can anyone with experiences on Zortec and Glockenspiel explain how
"handle" works in C++ class in Zortech and CommonView libraries ?

In particular, I like ti know if handle in those two libraries
require "explicit" dereference. Or, do all handle-based object
derived from a "handle-class" which overloads dereferncing so I 
don't have to worry about (i.e. transparent to developers). 
In nutshell, I want to avoid, in my C++ program, derefernce a
handle to a pointer.

If you have made your decision to use one the above two C++
compiler/translater, I will also like to know why.

Thanks.
