For self-learning, I agree. Usually works fine on me.

Agreed again - I wanna write the pc user interface (DripTalk) for

my evolving sprinkler controller (Drip) in BC++Win, but the

learning curve cut so deep that I'm currently using a bad mixture

of dos based libraries, because I wanna get the thing running

before the second coming.
