  Oliver Twist time is it ?  (-:

  OWL is Object Windows Library (a class library, written by Borland and
  bundled with its compiler).  Object Vision is I believe a discontinued
  application (if I recall correctly).

  MFC is Microsoft Foundation Classes, which (like OWL) is a proprietary
  class library shipped with Microsoft's compiler.  MFC makes no
  pretenses (unlike OWL) of covering more than one platform, however.

  [  For those that are lurking, yes I *know* that Watcom licences MFC
     off Microsoft to bundle with its compiler.  That doesn't make MFC
     any more portable or any less proprietary, I'm afraid.  ]

  All of the major C++ compilers are listed on the Pros and Cons list
  AFAIAA.

  I have a sort of ad hoc list of other tools for other languages that I
  have gradually accreted over the years, but I would prefer to leave it
  to someone else to do (say) a PASCAL compiler Pros and Cons list.  (-:

  Assemblers are WASM (Watcom), TASM/BASM (Borland) and IBM MASM.

  As I said in the Glossary, if you want to know about Guidelines, pick
  up the GUIDOC.ZIP file and read.  It's too long to post here, really
  -- certainly far too long for a simple glossary.

  Resource Workshop is the name of one of Borland's tools, shipped with
  its compiler.  Were you referring to something else ?
