[comp.lang.c++] Win3.0 Class Libraries for BC++ ??

splotl@tharr.UUCP (Chris H) (06/22/91)

Hi,
I'm a borland C++ user and, like everyone else I suppose, I'm
disappointed that there's no Windows 3 class library provided.

So, a couple of questions:

	- Does anyone have a definite YES/NO on whether Borland
	  Intend to supply BC++ users with a class library for
	  windows operations?

	- Has anyone considered creating a Public Domain class lib?

	- Would it be feasible to port CLass libraries for
	  windowing environments from other systems (Interviews?)

Please reply to me by email; I'll summarise all responses.

Thanks,

According to PC Week, Borland had the C++ Class Lib for Windows
(Object Windows Library) in beta for a while now.  Last week, PC Week
had a story and screen photo of a new development tool called Resource
Workshop.  It uses the OWL class set.  In addition, Borland will soon
release a DOS version of Turbo Vision for C++.

See above and ask why you'd want to at this point.

A public domain class lib would be free.

Also usually these libraries are avaiible in source for would be C++
hackers.
