Does anyone know when the new Borland C++ for Windows (that's probably not its exact name, I'm sure) will be available? Magazines have already had review copies for a while, and I believe they were supposed to officially announce it today or yesterday, but no store seemed to know anything about it. If it is anything like their other compilers, my Windows productivity should double when I can finally discard this damned Windows SDK and C6.00a.

The poduct is called Borland C++. It's available and announced on Feb 13th. You can order the upgrade for $99 if you own Turbo C++ Pro by calling them. The compiler, debugger, and profiler are all DOS based application. The ICON Editor, Dialog Editor, and Resource Editor are Windows based program. With this, you won't need the MS SDK, in fact, I think they got the header files etc from MicroSoft.

The name is Borland C++. Turbo C++ is still available as a seperate product. It can be ordered from Borland as of today. Upgrade from Turbo C++ Pro is $99.

They "unveiled" it yesterday, at a programmer's conference in Santa Clara. The official title is just "Borland C++"; the single package supports both DOS and Windows. >If it is anything like their other compilers, my Windows productivity should >double when I can finally discard this damned Windows SDK and C6.00a. From what I saw, it's the same basic programming model, but all the tools are slicker and faster. If you're anxious to get your mits on it, you might try ordering it directly. Judging from the upgrade prices I mentioned, they heard previous complaints about pricing, so maybe they've cleaned up their act in shipping too. Incidentally, the package include the Whitewater Resource Toolkit, which currently sells for about $160, slightly more than the upgrade price. -- ergo@netcom.com Isaac Rabinovitch netcom!ergo@apple.com Silicon Valley, CA {apple,amdahl,claris}!netcom!ergo (specific statement withheld at this time for operational reasons)
