I heard these same rumors re: Think C++ from our campus Apple rep.

Meanwhile, I sincerely wish that Borland would come up with Borland
C++ for the Mac.  IMHO, my first impressions of Think C are not
favorable.  The Think C documentation is inferior; it took me weeks
to find the page that described how to convert Unix/DOS style command-
line parameters for the mac.  (My programs are sophisticated mathematical
routines with minimal interfaces).  For shame: the main reason many of
us use C instead of other languages is due to its portability.  If
the ANSI standard isn't properly supported, it is a pain in the ***
for me.  (I keep to ANSI C in my programs so that I may port them
to PC's and workstations).

Borland's on-line help has descriptions of *all* functions, along
with short example programs.

Not to mention, I cannot figure out if Think C has special constants
so that I may write:

#if _Think_

foo();

#endif

and have it work correctly on the different machines I use.  Borland
had this.

There were many fine reasons that drove me to choose a Mac over a PC
for my main machine.  Think C was not one of them.
