I also have been using Zortech to port an application from DOS/Windows to 1.3 (and
eventually to 2.0). The application uses XVT and was originally written in Borland
C++.  There are a lot of differences between the two (Borland works). I have tried
to run the Workbench under 2.0 and I do not have the use of the mouse. Since then,
I have stuck with make files (Zortech make appears to be a very minimal implementation).
I am waiting for the IBM C++ to come so that I can see what a difference this makes for
2.0.
