  I am considering purchasing Blaise Computing's Win++ Class Library
interface for MS Windows. It has a list price of $249 ($219 from 
Programmer's Shop) and includes source code, support for DLL's, and 90+ 
classes including some non-windows classes. The Win++ Class Hierarchy
Chart shows that all of the classes are derived from the BCObject class.
All classes have a BC prefix so naming conflicts are avoided. 

  This library is a repackaging of the JT Software (?) Class Library for
Zortech C++. The Blaise Computing library only supports Borland C++.

  Has anyone had any experience with either of these Class Libraries ?

  In reviews of other similiar Class libraries, reviewers have been
  critical of of Class Hierarchies derived from a single base class. 
  Why is this a problem ?

 Thanks
