I posted a brief message about receiving the BC Help Compiler. Sorry
I opened my mouth too soon,  courtesy of Borland International B-(. I only
received the HC book. (It was packaged separately from the rest of the docs.)
I couldn't find the Help Compiler among the 11 disks shipped.

I spent the weekend playing with the package with my wife yelling at me
in the background. I must say I'm impressed. The protected mode version 
is great. The IDE was pretty fast ( < 2 min.) compiling the window
example program. I recalled previous posting regarding on BCXs' speed 
around 20 min(??) compiling the win eg prg. Abundance of memory could 
be the helping  hand in my case (4 Megs EMS, and 4 Megs Cache.)

It compiled all of my previous programs (not that many) with the 
exception of one. (The code from the book ~Programming Graphics w/ TC++.)
The docs are basically a rehash of TC++.

Again I apologize for any anxiety I might have caused you. If you know
more about the Help Compiler, please let me know. I also received my
Actor package today and may be I can do a brief comparison if there're
enough interests.

Regards,

Brian
