Yeah, that's true. You can do so much with a good, sharp-bladed circular saw, but if you don't know what you are doing, you can cut off your fingers or take out a load-bearing support. :-o > Anyway, if the c++/kylix tool looks good we'll probably look > at rewriting our powerbuilder front ends in it. It's funny that this came up when it did, as the latest issue of C/C++ User's Journal (the subscription issue, anyhow) came with a demo of C++Builder 6.0 Enterprise. Good marketing idea. I'll be trying it out, but I'd be buying the Professional version. Some things I like about it are the editor and the class browser, so I use it with non-VCL projects sometimes, too.
