Cheaper alternative, yup.  ;-)

OTOH, after working with Borland's Windows products, and seeing the dismal
OS/2 product they were trying to pass off, I decided to quit with Borland
on both platforms.

I now use MS's Visual C++ 4.0 at work under NT, and Watcom C/C++ 10.6 for
OS/2 at home.

But that's just me.  ;-)

I haven't gotten into PM apps too much ... yet.  :-)

Right now I'm spoiled - I do all my graphical stuff at work with Delphi. 
RAD at its finest (so far).  I haven't tried Watcom's Optima C++, however
if they manage to come out with an OS/2 version, I will be amongst their
first customers.  :-)
