It is probably because many people start with Borland C++ v3.1 (it is taught in many universities). What bugs have you found in Borland C/C++? I did notice a few automatic variable allocation bugs (2 local variables would get the same location on the stack occasionally). I have found that it's compiler error messages are much less cryptic. I understand how hard it is to make decent parse-error messages using Bison, my only conclusion is that they didn't use Bison to do their parsing. Also, I liked the way Borland's help pages offered help on more than just function calls. I have been meaning to try writing some info files for DJGPP that do just that, but I don't know where I can get a good program for writing info files. Or at least documentation on the format. Can someone point me in a direction? -- -Rolf Campbell (39)3-6318
