BCPP2 v2.0 is, as far as I know, still in beta. Like its parents, 1.0
& 1.5, it supports only OS/2 32-bit (I stand to be corrected on this
point, it could support 16-bit OS/2 compilations as well, but I don't
think so). What is does give you, ostensibly, is the Object Windows
Library. What every you write using OWL or standard C++ classes or
standard C library functions can be compiled using the upcoming BCPP
4.5 compiler for DOS, Windows et al. That's about all I can tell you at
this time. If you really want to know about 2.0, I can try to glean
some more info from the few weak contacts I have a Borland Canada.

I am planning to contact someone at Borland this week, just to
underline what a lame dog BCPP/2 really is. This past week, I was using
it to try to write some multi-threaded code. Just some simple open the
file and close it stuff. Wouldn't work. Work! hell wouldn't even
compile!!! Then I tried the same code with the WATCOM compiler and
presto, the files opened and then, surprise surprise, they closed!

Now if only I could get the hang of event-driven programming!!!!

 X KWQ/2 1.2e X If at first you don't succeed, put it out for beta test.
