just got a "maintenence Upgrade Notice" for C6.0 from Our Lady Of
Redmond. $12.95 Buys you new compiler, with VCPI/DPMI for large
compilations, NEW Codeview - two monitor debugging no longer required
for windows.... New Programmer workbench ( so who uses that thing
anyway? )
What one can infer from a maintenence upgrade notice at this time???
1) Many of us have been waiting for word on MS's response to Borland C++.
A maintenence upgrade notice might imply that there is no response
coming soon - if they're playing fair, else, C++ is going to be
announced in a month, and they're interested in picking up even more money
by hitting us for both!!! ( your gamble.. )
2) Discussion about OS2/2.0 has been quite positive, still no word on a
32 bit compiler ( C OR C++.. ) so, same conclusions - don't expect anything
soon, or let's see if we can get 'em twice....
3) No mention of a windows programming environment or
in-windows-executable compiler. Slight changes to PWB.
GOOD MORNING, REDMOND !!!!
