- WorkFrame/2 was designed for use with any compiler. In fact, you can
- plug in your own editor, debugger, maker, and linker. Then you can
- add many of your other preferred tools to its 'Tools' menu. This is
- very different from the 'other' development environments who force you
- to use their own tools. WorkFrame/2 also implements many drag & drop
- features which allow you to do your work more easily. When used with
- the enhanced editor, the error handling mechanism is quite powerful.
-
- It also provides a default compiler dialog for those compilers that
- don't yet provide WorkFrame/2 support. Those that do include
- Watcom, Symantech, and Borland.

- Of course the above is just my biased opinion! ;-)
