- Well Borland has certainly not made it easy for prospective customers
- to take a peek at the product. No formal feature list has been made available.
- The EEP is an incredible $300! I have broused the article on BC++ for OS/2
- in the OS/2 developer magazine, and I don't recall it being said that there
- wasn't going to be an OWL equivalent.
- I don't know about anybody else, but I guess I will be looking
- somewhere else, i.e. IBM's Cset/2 c++.
