While listening to Frank Adam Pete heard:Objects

G'day Frank

 FA> probably they didn't. If so, even though i like the borland
 FA> IDEs, i'll defect to Watcom. Anyone using and/or like Symantec's

 PC> I've got Symantec C++ 6.1 here but never use it, The windows IDE
 PC> isn't to bad but the DOS one is a shocker, well i didn't like it
 PC> anyway.

 FA> I've just looked at 7.2 at their homepage, and it looks good,
 FA> but no mention of a DOS IDE.

Symantec sent me a flyer when they released 7.0 i can't remember most
that was on it now but the bit about requiring at least 16 megs of RAM
killed any idea i might have had about taking up their 'attractive
upgrade offer' 

 FA> They claim to have the fastest and best optimizing compiler on
 FA> the market. They also claim to produce the smallest code of all
 FA> compilers, and back all this up with a benchmark page, showing
 FA> how well it does against the  others. Dunno, no doubt there is
 FA> another 3-4 compilers claiming the same. A nice thing is that it
 FA> is supposed to be fully MSC compatible  and has  an interpreter
 FA> for Borland codes, and an interface to make using VBXs  easier.

I'm yet to make my mind up whether i like VBX's or not, install a few
programs that overwrite each others VBX's and it's quite easy to get
into a situation where programs stop working.
