Funny that you should mention that, I have noticed a lot of people
comlaining about C6/SDK, and we don't have _major_ problems with it.
Eg: The dialog editor is clunky, but no worse (overall) than WRT, IMHO.

I tinker an awful lot ... to try things out, and once they work, then
I actually use them...

The reason I mentioned tinkering (actually), is that Borland's traditional
ground has been the hobbyist scene (ie TurboPascal 2.0 3.0 etc) and that
is where the "movement" actually started.

Back in the days of CP/M, I don't think I knew of a person who _didn't_
have Turbo 2.0!

Anyway, back to work   [ tinkering  B-)    ]
