Well, I am sorry, but I am using an AMD K6 233 with 32megs of RAM and I
don't have
any quarell with virtual ram swapping. I guess if you have a slower
processor then
MSVC could become a problem. I am not trying to say that MSVC is the
greatest, but
for what I do it suits me better than trying to debug under Unix.

their own!"

What does the interface of Microsoft Visual C++ have anything to do with
Microsoft NT server interface?
I am using Windows 95 and using the C++ compiler to compile to strictly C
code!
Classes have no boundary where I dwell!
