- BINGO! That's my objection, too. What I see in Microsofts replies is that
- they don't care about the student population of the world AT ALL.
- They won't even give us tech support (except through CI$). The main
- reason that I have Microsoft C++ is for compatibility with other people
- (I can compile their code). Watcom claims to have a Microsoft compatible
- library; maybe I should switch to them. Or find/write a MS-Compatible
- library for Borland C++ (STILL my favoite MS-DOS compiler).
