 SB> People in the comp.os.os2.programming.oop recommend
 SB> OCL120.zip. I've downloaded it, but found out that there is no
 SB> documentation.  This makes this free package a little difficult to use.
 
        OCL150 has now been made available.  It contains new
classes, but still no documentation.

 MR> I had heard about VisualAge C++. You mention it has high memory
 MR> requirements; do you know if these are in addition to what OS/2
 MR> needs, or will 32 megs of system RAM total be enough to run this
 MR> program?

        When companies present requirements, they take into account
that you must use the OS in order to use their product.  In the case
of VisualAge, you need (revised numbers) 24 megs to run OS/2 and
VisualAge C, and 32 megs to run OS/2 and VisualAge C++ and the
accompanying C++ tools.  Of course, you could use VisualAge with less
than 24-32 megs, but then VisualAge would no longer run, it might only
walk 

        I've recently obtained Watcom C/C++ v10.0, and found that it
compiles much more rapidly than EMX/GCC v0.9b.  However, the OS/2
toolkit is only v2.1 (or is it v2.0?), and the debugger needs to be
debugged:  it crashes often.  Also, I've gone back to EMX/GCC for a
project because I couldn't get Watcom to use some mci functions
(mciSendCommand() and mciGetErrorString()).  So I'm now using Watcom
to create and debug the handling of dialogs and their controls, and
then include the mci functions and recompile with EMX/GCC.  I wonder
how good the support for Warp is in Watcom v10.6.  However, there's a
beta for v11.0, so maybe there is something for us in that version, as
opposed to further upgrades to the Windows platform.  Also, I've
recently read a message from a Borland C++ user, and Borland customer
support offered absolutely no information regarding an upgrade to the
2 year old OS/2 version (not even a hint that work is being done on the
OS/2 version). What's left?  SmallTalk, VisPro.  I know nothing about
these products.
