Yup.  It's part of the Microsoft Windows Software Development Kit, one of the
more overpriced packages around.  According to my memory (which may be 
completely wrong) I priced it at $450 from 47th Street around the first of
this year.  (I picked up a copy from a liquidation house for $200.)  I haven't
heard of anyone with a competing product yet (anyone from Borland listening?)

And yes, I'll admit that 'overpriced' is relative.  For example, I would
consider that any COBOL compiler costing more than $1.00 is overpriced.
