Hmm, they TRIED to make it code compatible. BC++4.5 Win comes with OWL2.5,
BC++2.0 OS/2 with OWL2.0. Code generated with 4.5's AppExpert are rejected
by the OS/2 version.
Once a unmodified sample prog. crashed. Great for confidence.
The BUTTONX sample pops up a Messagebox if you (un)check a CheckBox ( or a
RadioButton, don't known for sure), unless you're using the OS/2 version.
I called Borland's Helpdesk and asked them if they intend to release OWL2.5
for OS/2. The answer was : "Sorry sir, we don't support OS/2". I
gently put down the phone, cursed and ordered IBM VAC++.
I use BC++/2 strictly for quick'n dirty textmode programs because it
compiles VERY FAST.


Toedeloe,
