Well, I also received a promotional mailing for Borland C++ & Application
Frameworks.  It is enticing enough to get me to consider going this route
(with a relatively mature product) rather than waiting indefinitely for
BC/C++ for OS/2 and taking the risks often associated with a relatively
young product.

I have seen a bunch of postings in recent months as to how well (or poorly)
BC++ 3.1 runs under Win-OS/2, but I didn't take notes because I was going
to wait for the real thing (the OS/2 version), and wasn't particularly
concerned at the time.

Would someone kindly summarize the pros, cons, and limitations of running 
BC++ 3.1 under Win-OS/2 and give opinions as to whether or not it is worth
waiting for the real thing?  (Note that I am not particularly interested in
running my system in dual-boot mode.  I'm quite happy with OS/2 as my only
OS, thank you very much.  Also note that the goal is to do generic code
development, and not to generate OS/2 apps in particular.)  What kind of
upgrade path to the OS/2 version do you think/suspect Borland will offer?

Also, would someone summarize the magic settings that give the best
behavior/performance in case I do break down and buy this thing?

thanks for your input,
john
