No, the framwork is for building Windows apps.

Correct.  Missing though is the screen saver files.  Not TOO much of a loss, But
I missed them.

Are you sitting ? -- 50 Meg online for the entire package.  Plus or minus a few
Megs depending on you cluster size.  This does include online manuals, source
code for the runtime library, and examples.

This version is not a 32 bit compiler.

Speed has never been a problem for me, but then I haven't written a VERY large
program.  4Mb is too small for any 386, I'd recommend 8Mb at least, but this is 
not a Borland suggestion.
