BINGO!  That's my objection, too.  What I see in Microsofts replies is that
they don't care about the student population of the world AT ALL.
They won't even give us tech support (except through CI$).  The main
reason that I have Microsoft C++ is for compatibility with other people
(I can compile their code).  Watcom claims to have a Microsoft compatible
library; maybe I should switch to them.  Or find/write a MS-Compatible
library for Borland C++ (STILL my favoite MS-DOS compiler).
