From Ted Holden at HTE: Religious-war fans will get a kick out of Garry Ray's article on page 49 of the May 22 issue of PC-WEEK. The latest polls seem to show customers significantly more satisfied with Borlands programming products, INCLUDING the Turbo-C 2.0 package vs MS-C 5 comparison. Interesting stuff. Ted Holden, HTE

To spew forth a quote: "By defining an object, similar to the way a pascal record is created, it's possible to create and manipulate self-contained programming objects containing both data and methods." Of course the new versions will be compatable with the previous ones. No mention is made of a release date, but since the new version of Microsoft's QuickPascal also includes OOPs it a good bet they'll be out before the year is. Also, Borland is no longer supporting Turbo BASIC and Turbo Prolog with new versions/updates. They are aiming their guns at Microsoft and using TC and TP as their ammunition. -- jdm@hodge.cts.com [uunet zardoz]!hodge!jdm James D.

Yes, Quattro is already SO MUCH BETTER and more powerful than Excel! :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) I have no connection with Microsoft or Borland (except as an unhappy Quattro owner and a happy Excel/Word/MSC owner). \tom haapanen tom@mims-iris.UWaterloo.CA watmims research group university of waterloo "Now, you didn't really expect my views to agree with my employer's, did you?"
