Nope. They are working on Latte. Latte is the Java equivalent to Delphi. Release date somewhere in the end of this year. The ClassExpert in BC4.x+ is quite powerfull, but not as easy as Delphi. If you want a good C equivalent to Delphi, take a look at IBM's Visual Age C++. Supported platform are OS/2, Windows95/NT, AIX and Windows 3.1x ( only as a target). The only drawback are the memory demands. 32MB is NOT enough! MM> package. I assume that Microsoft Visual C will not produce a stand alone MM> .exe just as Visual Basic won't. Wrong. Almost every C-compiler has an option to link dynamic or static. Which roughly means with DLL's or standalone. A Borland spokesmen told me about a C version of Delphi. The major problem is that Borland doesn't own C++ as they do own Object-Pascal. Toedeloe, Jorgen de Gier --- GEcho 1.00 * Origin: Hoi!

Unless Borland changed it for Delphi, Borlands interpretation of Pascal has always had an integer limit (-32768 to 32767) on the selector of a CASE statement. From the Delphi 1 Users Guide, page 166. "The CASE statement (blah blah blah) when the variable or property being evaluated is an integer type (with the exception of longint), a char type, an enumerated type, or a subrange type." That sounds like the -32k - +32k range still applies. =Don= --- * QMPro 1.52 * Sects, sects, sects.
