However, Borland is working with IBM to develop an OS/2 32-bit compiler for version 2.0 Right now, OS/2 can be bought for less than DOS+Windows (if you can find it). A Borland 32bit compiler would be a big incentive for me to chose OS/2 over UNIX. Of course, I'd like to see 32-bit Borland compilers for BOTH operating systems. :-) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Patrick Draper "College is supposed to prepare you for the future, cps.msu.edu but all my future's behind me." draper@cps.msu.edu -- My GrandPa, age 85, Fall 1990 graduate of Western Michigan University ------------------------------------------------------------------------
