Hi David,
DP> I sincerely hope that Borland doesn't fall. I no longer use any of
Me too.
DP> Still, competition for MS is healthy. A company/product without

Yup. If it wasn't for the competition they wouldn't be where they are
today. In word processors the competition was WordPerfect and they
went after it with Word. Speaking of Word, I liked the Dos version
of Word more than I ever liked WordPerfect Dos.
DP> I was hoping that Visual Objects would stir up some interest, too.
DP> Nope.
I didn't/don't like CA period, and I don't think I'm alone. Clipper
5.3 struck me as as strange animal - a Dos development tool with a
Windows interface. VO was quite pricey, and after my experience with
their dBFast, there was no way I was going to touch VO. I got the
impression that many people felt that way about VO after having
been bitten with CA products.
Take Care

... Of course I'm sane. The voices said so.
