- In a nutshell, I would purchase SBP+ as a companion to BP or TP,
- not as a replacement. One of the great advantages of TP is its
- simplicity: you don't have to worry about pointer sizes, memory
- models, OBJ and LIB files, near and far heaps, pointer aliasing,
- etc. Additionally, SBP+ is more of a traditional development tool
- than TP in that it is slower, not as well-integrated, etc. SBP+
- will not do anything to hurt Borland's products, but will complement
- them.
