I have finally decided that I am going to have to purchase a C/C++
compiler. The question is, which one?

I was originally planning to buy Microsoft C/C++, as I have TPW and thus
all the Borland tools, and could do with the debug kernel (not to
mention the file compressor).

I only have the money to buy an education edition. I have heard that the
Microsoft C/C++ 7.0 education pack is without the SDK, API manuals etc.
Can someone confirm this? What is and isn't there?

Also, what's the exact difference between Borland C++ and Borland C++
with Application Frameworks? Is it;
	a) The former comes sans Class Libraries;
	b) The former has container class libraries, but not Turbo
Vision or ObjectWindows;
 or;	c) The former has the headers and libraries for TV and OWL, but
not the source;

adTHANKSvance;
