Good question Brian. That is what bothers me with the Delphi products. From
1985 to Delphi I never had to concern myself about having to get help from
Borland. The docs were durn good - and I managed to figure out whatever
problems I ran into - and the 3rd party books were great. Now all that has
changed.
I can see that from my limited experience with D2. I had the same problem w/
D2. And if no one here can help you and this is important to you = what do
you do then? Spend loads of your time trying to figure it out. I have had
it with that process. I distrust Borland more than ever. I am presently
disgusted with them and the 3rd party authors. May I suggest you take a look
at Java. It comes - allegedly w/ cross platform support. Is it visual? Is
Delphi?
