Hmmm , I understood that do do any thing usefull in C you need to write a
ton of code , or have a whole bunch of libs/third party tools. I understand
that due to the lib problem that c is not so cross platform freindly.
Seems to me that C is more of an industrial srtenth type language. I
question weather that ttype of hose power is realy need by me , and am
looking int something that bay bee al little "weaker" but is faster to
devolpe.
Too bad borland wont make a linux version of delphi. I would settle for a
linux version of paradox or similar type tool
