I am in the process of selecting a C++ compiler/translator for MS/Windows development project. Can anyone with experiences on Zortec and Glockenspiel explain how "handle" works in C++ class in Zortech and CommonView libraries ? In particular, I like ti know if handle in those two libraries require "explicit" dereference. Or, do all handle-based object derived from a "handle-class" which overloads dereferncing so I don't have to worry about (i.e. transparent to developers). In nutshell, I want to avoid, in my C++ program, derefernce a handle to a pointer. If you have made your decision to use one the above two C++ compiler/translater, I will also like to know why. Thanks. /Chan

In Zortech C++, it works just as it works in C, i.e. it requires explicit
handling.

Sorry, but no.

Actually, there is good news. With Win3, you can pretty much forget about
using handle memory anyway. This restricts you to standard or enhanced mode.
But are you really developing applications for XTs?
