Programming in Visual C++ is quite a bit more difficult than programming in Delphi. Further, if you are familiar with Turbo Pascal, you will find Delphi even simpler to move to. Windows programming is difficult under Visual C++ (or Borland, or just plain C, for that matter) but becomes almost as simple as DOS programming under Delphi. On the other hand, a program written with a C/C++ compiler MIGHT be faster, and you might have a bit more flexibility. Granted, the difference is more minimal than you might expect. --- * QMPro 1.52 * Drag me, drop me, treat me like an object. --- WILDMAIL!/WC v4.12 * Origin: GC-BBS!
