I recently ordered and sent back the Zinc Interface Lib v1.01.  I too
wasn't very impressed.  I've been playing around with Turbo Pascal for
Windows because I wanted to learn how to use the Borland supplied
Object Windows Library (OWL), their pascal class lib.  

Borland is currently beta testing a dos and windows version of the
class libs for Borland C++.  My advice... wait till that comes out and
get it.  It has only taken me a couple of weeks to get the hang of the
TP class lib, but it really is outstanding (would you like to be able
to create a windows shell program in about 10 lines of executable
code? or do you prefer the 160 lines of MS C?).  I expect similar
quality will be forthcoming in the C++ versions.
