I just recieved my upgrade of Borland's C++ yesterday and already have
fallen in love with it.  First of all, it has approximately four times
as much memory available for compiling as the old version did.  Second,
it compiles approximately 2-5 times faster (depending on the size of the
source code).  The only large drawback (I have the Pro Pack, including
the assembler, debugger, and profilier) is that it takes 15 Mb to install
the entire program (all libs, examples, classes, programs, etc).

It's well worth the upgrade price.  I haven't had a chance to play with the
windows libs yet, but will post something soon.  Just as an aside, there is 
a simple option to create windows execuatables, rather than dos ones.

Later,
   Doug
