I have them both and prefer Borland very much. IMHO the Zortech environment
is a joke and the debugger stil doesn;t exist (would arive "soon"). The Zortech
compiler is however nice for compiling 32 bit code. In most cases with VROOM
the program can be made running too but they are much faster.

If you start using ZOrtech at least DON'T trow away your Borland package. Also
notice Borland C++ dor OS/2 2.0 is comming and this will generate 32 bit code
probably Zortech will be sooner (althought if you are in a hurry you can
considder a C++->C translator and C/Set 2 or Watcom C 9.0 for OS.2 2.0.
