TH>Hi y'all
TH>Anyone have Borland 5.02 installed? They said a typical instalation
TH>was 170Mb. I thought that was fat enough. I hit 300Meg! This is way
TH>beyond fatware. I had to drop the 16-bit Windows libraries so I could
TH>load it onto the system.
BJ>I bought the student version of the C++ v5.02 development suit and
BJ>couldn't believe how much room it takes up.  For some strange reason
BJ>I've got problems compiling win32 applications also that nice debugger
BJ>will only work on win32.  Easywin users have to make do with the dos
BJ>debugger.  Not to mention the compile speed.  It's a snail!
I hear ya... I was disappointed with the package. I mean, the
software was comprehensive, but the learning curve was the biggest
drawback, IMHO.
BJ>For some strange reason, when I bought v5.02 they included a cd copy
BJ>of v4.52 which is what I now use.  Much faster and everything does what
BJ>it's supose to do and it only taked up approx 100 meg.
Yea, I saw it. Maybe that will placate some of the folks from
returning the product.
But, I returned it.
