I can't find the C++ Builder product on their website. Looks like they have (finally) gotten out of the compiler/programming language business and are focusing their efforts entirely on "team management" software and training. Their catchphrase has even changed to "The Open ALM Company". So, all the old Borland programming language product line is clearly no longer being supported. Farewell dear Borland. I strongly recommend looking elsewhere for a C++ compiler. I used to be a Borland fan, my personal recommendation for beginners is Visual C++ 2008 as it has the best debugger in the world. Dev-C++ is okay too but the debugger is lacking. -- Thomas Hruska CubicleSoft President Ph: 517-803-4197 *NEW* MyTaskFocus 1.1 Get on task. Stay on task. http://www.CubicleSoft.com/MyTaskFocus/
