True in some cases, but Delphi and C++ Builder allow you to create the
simple stand alone apps (console, or dll's) that you might want without any
of the fancy class lib stuff. C++builder is a really good choice if you
want to do C/C++ programming _AND_ you later want to create Windoze
applications.

Yes!, the language of love for compute people, no flames ;-)
