I have no clue how many people are using it. I do know that the BIX Borland forum is clogged with OWL questions, and MEWEL supports it (and mentions that in their advertisements) among other things. Add that to the fact that Borland's share of the DOS C++ market approaches monopoly and I'd say that there are more people writing OWL applications than there are using MSC7 as a C++ compiler, but I have no way of proving that. Anyway, the real answer to, `How many people ARE using it?' is, `Too many.' Of course, that answer holds whether the `it' in the question is OWL or MFC. Chris
