At this point, and I'm far from done, I am somewhat disappointed with vc1.5x. I will continue to see what use I can put it to. Like it or not, there are many uses for pure DOS environments, and 16 / 32 bit compatibility should always be a consideration. it's not just my opinion, it is simply good sense. We now return you back to your channel of reality. //RadSurfer// On Mon, 05 Nov 2001 13:12:36 -0500, Radical NetSurfer wrote: >I am now the very proud owner of Microsofts VC 1.52c, >this is their LAST 16-bit MSDOS/WFW 3.11 compiler! > >I am going to be comparing its performance to our beloved >DJGPP 2.95.3 installation. > >As well as comparing to Borlands. > >I will be most interested in seeing what the results are.... > >To date, for the two programs I am testing between various >compilers, DJGPP is absolutely the SPEEDIEST !! > >Results (output) are, of course, 100% equal between all compilers, >except for their specific processing times. > >Stay tuned! > >MSVC 1.52c is available ONLY from MS, and ONLY registered >users of MSVC & MSDN members are allowed to obtain this >package.
