I have no intention of doing any Windows programming. Is there any reason to upgrade? Are there additional bug fixes in V. 2.0? If there are is there any way to patch in the fixes without upgrading? Thanks. Geoff Ghose NeXT Mail:geoff@pinoko.berkeley.edu

Version 2.0 of C++ is now called "Borland C++" not "Turbo C++". Now to answer your question. Many of the bugs found in Turbo C++ 1.01 are fixed in version 2.0. In addition, there are several new features unrelated to the Windows support it contains. One of the big features is the ability to keep on disk pre-compiled versions of include files. This saves quite a bit on re-compile time when include files have not changes. Also there is now a built in assembler, as well, to handle in-line assembly code. -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Kevin Gallagher kgallagh@digi.lonestar.org OR ...!uunet!digi!kgallagh DSC Communications Corporation Addr: MS 152, 1000 Coit Rd, Plano, TX 75075 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
