When I the system 3 or 4 years ago, it was superior to all development system
I knew and it was really cheap.
In the meantime they removed several parts that I liked very much and made
the system much more expensive.
I've been on CeBIT and had a very long discussion with several people from
JPI. At the beginning one got library sources free. Now they sell it (cheaper
then their competitors) seperately. And C++ and C are two different languages
for them which you have to buy (and pay) seperatly. So the price is even higher
than it looks at the first glance.
On the CeBit I had the feeling that 3.0 is mainly a bug fix version (the
environment did not change very much) and (i might be wrong) is still not
usable with a mouse (i mean practically usable, in theory it's of course
possible). The ugrade price isn't bug fix like.
Anyway, I wait for my update because I would like to try some Win 3 programming
and the beta version I have gave me the feeling that it is better to program
the Win interface in C which I cannot do with the beta version.

Disclaimer: I don't have 3.0 yet and it might be superior to all existing
            systems and worth at least twice its price.
