[comp.windows.ms.programmer] Borland C++ for Windows

rdippold@maui.qualcomm.com (Ron Dippold) (02/14/91)

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 Icon editor et. al. are supposed to be derived from the Whitewater
(of Actor frame) resource toolkit.

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.

See my posting to comp.windows.ms for further info.

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.

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.

Actually, it *IS* the Whitewater Resource Toolkit.

whitewater resource toolkit? is this  from the people that produce
ACTOR? is the Turbo C++ windows toolkit  some cut-down version of
ACTOR?
