G'Day Peter,
 
-=> Quoting Peter Collis to Frank Adam <=-

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

 PC> Symantec sent me a flyer when they released 7.0 i can't remember most
 PC> that was on it now but the bit about requiring at least 16 megs of RAM
 PC> killed any idea i might have had about taking up their 'attractive
 PC> upgrade offer' 
I guess 16M is becoming pretty much a standard these days, i have it
so i'm not totally fussed, but in windows it gets a little slow with 
Borland and the required stress relief , MS Golf open at the same time :)
Btw, BC5++ requires 16M for standard, and 24 for 32 bit win programming. 
 
 FA> is supposed to be fully MSC compatible  and has  an interpreter
 FA> for Borland codes, and an interface to make using VBXs  easier.
 PC> I'm yet to make my mind up whether i like VBX's or not, install a few
 PC> programs that overwrite each others VBX's and it's quite easy to get
 PC> into a situation where programs stop working.
Damn right,i am quite paranoid about those now, had a few problems
due to installs overwriting some, now i do a complete backup on all
dlls and the likes.
