I've always heard good things about Borland; even in the early years.
Imagine coming so far that their Inprise/Borland C++Builder 3.0 Pro
can be downloaded for FREE.
Although it does make creating Win95 apps incredibly easy, their
runtimes are far larger than anyone should of thought practical.

Their Builder 1.0 is already practically free...its included on most
CD's that come with Borland Books these days. and I imagine someone's
cracked the time constrainst.  Since I use Borland exclusively here,
I have more copies of 1.0 then I can count.
