I've ported a large application, and it took only a day; the only problem I ran into was an inherent problem in my code, which was unmasked by going to the new compiler. One recurring misconception about TC++ 1.0 is that it only adds C++ over the features of TC 2.0. I use TC++ 1.0 all the time now, and I do virtually NO C++ programming; what I got that was really valuable was a much improved development environment (multiple concurrent windows, a framework, mouse support, etc). The Borland marketeers should be playing up this facet. No connection with Borland other than as a very satisfied user.
