From: Circle Discussion List [mailto:CIRCLE@post.queensu.ca] On Behalf Of lijster op planet [snip] : Will patching/using snippets be easier if I use MSVC 6.0 : instead of borland c++ 5.01? Don't get me wrong, I'm not : trying to get there the easy way, it's just that I notice : that more people use msvc rather then borland. [snip] The short answer: probably not. If you're talking about applying patches, there's likely no difference, based on two points: 1. You should be hand-patching, and 2. The `diff' and `patch' programs have nothing to do with either of those. Neither of those development tools above address either of these issues. You can find free Windows versions of the diff/patch applications, if that's the problem, but it'd save you a lot of future trouble if you're seeing everything that happens to your source code as you develop it. Since you wanted a quick answer, I'm not going to rant further. :) -k. -- +---------------------------------------------------------------+ | FAQ: http://qsilver.queensu.ca/~fletchra/Circle/list-faq.html | | Archives: http://post.queensu.ca/listserv/wwwarch/circle.html | | Newbie List: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/circle-newbies/ | +---------------------------------------------------------------+
