While government & corporate do seem to be brushing off Win95 right now, let us not forget that Delphi 2.0 writes for NT just as handily as 95. (In fact, if you don't use any of the NT specific APIs, the same EXE will work on both.) NT, on the other hand is selling like hot-cakes in those markets... >Also I expect the competition to emerge in mid-96 (compiled VB?) which >should steal some of the limelight. Perhaps, but by the time that happens, Delphi will have such a head start that any competition will have a hard time catching up. //-------------------------------------------------------------------- // David S.
