That's fine and dandy.

My customers have large hard disks, but very little time.
I have been swearing about MSC; PWB and the MFC all authumn,
and yesterday I gave in and bought Borland C++ and started
reading the manual. TODAY I am as far with my OWL project
as I came in 3 months using PWB/MSC/MFC (however, not on
anything NEAR full-time)

It seems Microsoft has certain exotic priorities, such as
small size being better than solid performance and ease-of-use.
If I was to write something cryptic and small, I'd use FORTH
for DOS. Or CP/M, even ;-)

Cheers,
