We all can say, "Praise God for Borland!" I've used them exclusively since
being a "beginner moron", and their code works. Petzold's examples work
(once you use "smart callbacks").
I've heard that Microsoft's C++ system is worse than Borland's, but it's
hard to believe it's as bad as you describe! I know people use the MS system
to create actual Windows applications, so it's _possible_ to get around its
shortcomings. Just keep pounding on it until it yields (or buy Borland).
