Ok folks.... There's a TON of Borland pricing numbers flying around for Borland C++. here's my situation. I bought TC++ Pro less around 60 days ago. I also bought TC 2.0 6 mos. before that. I am a college student and VERY poor. I would really like to get Borland C++ as cheap as possible. What's the bottom line.. What am I gonna pay for it, if I order today (OK, not today, but sometime in the near future)???????? -gmw

>Borland C++ does not come with class libraries for Windows programming. >Until you or someone else comes up with a class library for this you have >to make normal SDK calls. The above isn't well worded. You do not need the MS SDK because the Borland C++ has a full set of Windows libraries built in. In fact, the Borland C++ compiler uses the same windows.h file that Microsoft does, so the usual Windows API is available for use. BTW, One could just use the Borland docs to create a Windows program, but it would probably help to have other resources available (just as is true for regular DOS-only programs). >>Is anyone working on classes? INFOWORLD has an article this week listing several (not just 1 or 2) sets of C++ libraries for Borland C++ that do the kinds of things that people here have been asking about. Go read that article for more details.
