Just when I thought I knew what I wanted to do, another piece got thrown into
the puzzle.

I just finished reading the March 4, 1991 PC WEEK Supplemental article Windows
development tools.  The article mentions one particular person who chose CASE:W
over WindowsMaker and Actor because of its prototypeing and support for
multiple environments.  I've read the basic descriptions of CASE:W and Actor in
Programmer's Paradise catalog and PC WEEK, but would like to hear others
opinions from their experience with these two.

QUESTION:
HOW DOES CASE:W 3.0 COMPARE WITH ACTOR 3.0 FOR APPLICATIONS DEVELOPMENT?

I've noticed that Actor is available for a limited time at $99; is CASE:W
offering a similiar deal?  If not, who would have the best price for CASE:W and
is it worth it (~ 9x the price of Actor)?  It appears that CASE:W is more
comprehensive. Is this true?  The FAQ file says that CASE:W (spelled W:CASE)
requires the SDK.  Is this still true in light of the recent release from
Borland (C++ 2.0)?

I recently upgraded my Borland C compiler to C++ 2.0 (if nothing else, at least
to bring it up to date from v1.5 and serve as an intro to OOP).  I also have
MSC 5.1, MASM 5.1, and SDK 2.0.  I'm trying to decide if I need to upgrade the
SDK for $150, get a copy of Actor for $99, look into CASE:W for $?, all of the
above, none of the above, etc.  Any suggestions/opinions would be appreciated.

Either e-mail or post to this newsgroup would be fine.  Thankx
