 LN> Sorry, I thought that was a known from the subject.  Rereading it out

I just started using VACPP Trial Copy from the Devcon CD's, specifically
so I could try the Open Class Library.  I tried OWL (Borland), YACL, and
looked at ObjectPM by Secant Tech (there is no evaluation copy of the
library, but from what I've seen it looks very good).

IBM's Open Class looks like the most featured, but since IBM wrote it
for OS/2, I guess that makes senese. :-)

I am interested in getting the compiler, but don't qualify for an
acedemic price.

Suggest that they lower the price for the compiler too!  They'd probably
sell more copies, and that's what they want, isn't it?
