I'm getting ready to develop a new product using a 386 based Compatible PC and
have the enviable task of selecting the development system of my choice.  What
I am curious about is the following:

Assuming C is used as the base language which C compiler is better(Turbo or MSC)

What development tools exist in the current market to help prototype and assist
in the development stages?  Does a Hypercard product exist for the PC?

Which database packages provide the programmer with the most usefull and 
effective routines?

If I choose to use a windowing product should I pick MS Windows, Desqview, or
some generic windowing routines?

Please email any response to erb2x@uvacs.Virginia.EDU 

Any responses would be greatly appreciated.
