Thankfully, I'm not the person this message was sent to, but I'm still a
bit offended by your manor.  Such language is only used by ruffians who
have no other means of getting the job done.  It's like a gun toting
fanatic who kills twenty people compared to a friendly person who
CONVERTS twenty people.  Such steam will only make other people think
less of you.

By the way, I HAVE been a long-time supporter of Borland's compilers,
but v1.5 really blew my steam

KH> - Good installation program.
Sneeze...  Please...  You should at least have the option of running it
off the CDRom...

  > - A great editor.
Grumble, sure I've liked it in the past, although I use Guidelines now.
The only problem I had with the IDE was the slow redraw during
debugging. (+)

  > - A lot better documentation of the tools than CSet++.
Can't say much for this one, but it would be nice if it came with the
complete PM reference.  At least an on-line version could have been
included with the CDRom.  (a CDRom with potentially greater than 600meg
of space only used 50megs!) (--)

  > - Resource Workshop beats the resource tools that comes with IBM and Watcom

Sure, compare it to their Windows resource workshop.  They're still
giving us crap.  I figured with such a big increase in version
(1.0->1.5) that I'd see some type of improvement.  None (-)

  > - It is fast when compiling.
Ya, and even let's you edit the source while it' compiling... (+)

  > - C run time library source is included.
Only if you purchase it PRIOR to June 31 (or when purchasing the CDRom).

  > - A good assembler.
Never used it.

  > - Library compatibility with DOS/Windows version which simplifies porting

A definite plus since I came from a Borland DOS background (+)

  > - Borland PM Custom Controls, makes your PM programs look nicer.
Haven't quite figured out how to use them.  I've found only short text
files on how to use them.  (-)

Gee...  After all of this... You confuse me!
